Since 2017, Killingsworth Agency has proudly supported Operation HeartF.E.L.T. Foundation, Inc., inspired by a mission that closely reflects its own commitment to caring for and strengthening families in times of need. Operation HeartF.E.L.T. (Feeding Empty Little Tummies) provides nutritious meals to food-insecure children, ensuring they have access to food on weekends, holidays, and extended school breaks.
The agency’s support goes far beyond a check. Killingsworth donates warehouse space used to store and prepare food filled backpacks delivered to local schools each week, provided entirely free of charge so the nonprofit can operate efficiently and expand its reach. Employees volunteer regularly, giving staff meaningful opportunities to participate and make a direct difference in the community.
One back to school season made that partnership especially clear. When demand for backpacks surged and the foundation risk falling behind, Killingsworth opened the warehouse for extended hours and employees stepped in alongside the foundation’s team. Together, they packed hundreds of backpacks and made sure every delivery reached local schools on time.
“What stood out most was seeing the direct impact, knowing that each backpack meant a child would have food over the weekend,” Danielle Healis shared. “That shared effort not only met an urgent need but also strengthened the partnership.”
A $10,000 Make More Happen Award would be used entirely to purchase food for the families and children Operation HeartF.E.L.T. Foundation serves.
