HEART Community Cookout

Bringing communities together through food, support, and connection.

Missouri

Our Community Cookout brings people together in Missouri through food, support, and meaningful connection.

This isn’t just about food. It’s about bringing people together.
Our Community Cookout creates a space where families can connect, enjoy a meal, and feel supported.
Some give. Some receive. Everyone belongs.

About the event

This year, we are hosting one event:
• Missouri – May 31st

This cookout is more than just meals, they are spaces where individuals and families can gather, feel supported, and connect with their community.

Come for the food. Stay for the experience.

Each event will include:
🍔 Fresh food & drinks
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family-friendly activities
• Kids activities like coloring, games, and more
🎶 Music & good vibes
• A welcoming, safe environment
🎁 Giveaways & community support

To ensure we can best serve our community, attendance will be limited and available by sign-up only. Once a request is submitted, event details will be shared with confirmed attendees based on availability.

While many supporters choose to “pay it forward” with a suggested $10 donation to help cover a meal, no donation is required to attend.

All proceeds help support local families and future HEART programs.
Some families donate. Some eat free.
Sponsors help cover the difference, so everyone can be part of it.
