Welcome to Heroes Helping Kids!

At Heroes Helping Kids, we are driven by a deep passion for making a positive impact in the lives of children. Our journey began with Farris Gerard, who founded this initiative as a heartfelt tribute to his dear friend, Officer Doug Barney, a true hero who lost his life in the line of duty.

In December 2016, Heroes Helping Kids started as an annual toy drive, bringing smiles to the faces of countless children during the holiday season. Over time, our vision expanded, and we evolved into an organization dedicated to both supporting and safeguarding children.

Our primary mission is to provide assistance to children in need. We strive to create moments of joy and inspiration, helping them navigate difficult circumstances and fostering a brighter future. Through various programs and initiatives, Heroes Helping Kids extends a helping hand to vulnerable children, ensuring they have access to essential resources, education, and opportunities for growth.

What sets Heroes Helping Kids apart is our unwavering commitment to protecting children. We believe that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment. Alongside our support initiatives, we actively work towards advocating for child protection, raising awareness about their rights, and collaborating with local communities to create a safer world for our young ones.

Behind the work of Heroes Helping Kids lies a rich history and a powerful story. Doug Barney's legacy fuels our dedication, and we honor his memory by carrying forward his spirit of selflessness and courage. Our organization has grown from humble beginnings, fueled by the generosity of our community and the unwavering dedication of our volunteers. Together, we have transformed into a force for change, touching the lives of countless children and families along the way.

We invite you to join Heroes Helping Kids on this incredible journey of compassion, resilience, and hope. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of children, empowering them to thrive and achieve their fullest potential.
