Our heart

Love that notices. Faith that moves.

Project Grateful Hearts is a Christian, faith-based nonprofit serving people locally and internationally through practical care, enduring relationships, and hope.

Serving every person with dignity, regardless of background, nationality, or circumstance.

Our mission

See a need. Show love. Take action.

We demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ through random acts of kindness that meet practical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Our work includes humanitarian relief, restoration, youth mentorship, education, housing support, and compassionate outreach. We do not want to offer temporary assistance alone. We walk beside people toward healing, dignity, purpose, and hope.

Our vision

One changed life can change a community.

We believe lasting change begins when someone is truly seen. An act of kindness can become a turning point, a trusted relationship can help restore hope, and transformed lives can strengthen families for generations.

See

Notice the person and the need.

Stay

Keep showing up after the crisis.

Serve

Turn compassion into action.

How it began

A simple yes became a mission.

In 2017, Kathrine “Kat” Weir heard Jesus’ words, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” She felt called to become one of those workers.

Kat began by helping people move, preparing meals, and serving wherever she could. Over time, that service expanded to Jamaica. After Hurricane Melissa, emergency distributions revealed deeper needs: families still without safe homes, boys carrying trauma, and communities needing partners who would remain after larger relief efforts ended.

Project Grateful Hearts grew into an umbrella for relief, restoration, mentorship, education, and faith-based ministry—while keeping its original heart intentionally simple.

Statement of faith

Faith demonstrated through service.

We believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.

Followers of Christ are called to love God and love others. We seek to follow Jesus by caring for people who are hurting, feeding people who are hungry, supporting children and families, and bringing hope in difficult circumstances.

Our faith is unashamed and our service is openhearted. We serve people regardless of background, nationality, or circumstance.

Our promise

People are never projects.

We listen, build relationships, respect local leadership, protect dignity, and remain accountable to the people and partners who make this work possible.

Our accountability

Leadership

Guided by service and accountability.

Project Grateful Hearts is led by people in the United States, Jamaica, and the United Kingdom who share a commitment to compassionate, faith-centered action.
