Our mission is rooted in compassion, generosity, and a deep love for serving others. For three generations, God has called our family to serve his Kingdom. Together we live with passion, purpose and a desire to heal the hearts of those we serve.
Mia Fernandez Co-Founder & Creative Director
Community service is how I fulfill my passion for helping others. With every mission, I experience a new level of joy that comes from seeing the difference I am making in the lives of others.
I come from a family of community servants, so serving has always been a big part of my life. Serving gave me so much joy that in 2021 I began taking on my own volunteer opportunities, such as fostering neonatal kittens, babysitting, serving at church, and volunteering on mission trips.
In 2024, my passion for serving had grown into a desire to fulfill a higher purpose, so my mom and I founded ‘Hearts of Grace’. Our initial mission was to support teens in need of food and essentials, like several classmates who were struggling with food insecurity. But I wanted to do more and quickly realized we could make a bigger impact if we partnered with other nonprofits like ‘Make a Wish’, Four
Paws One Heart Animal Rescue, Lighthouse Family Retreats and ‘Christ Haven for Children.’
Since 2021, I have dedicated over 1,300 hours to community service and contributed an economic impact of over $40,000. My time serving others has taught me valuable lessons in servant leadership, but more importantly I have experienced the joy that comes from helping others. My hope is that Hearts of Grace will one day grow into a national foundation that serves thousands of people, provides scholarships to service-minded students, and inspires others to lead and serve.
Kris, Co-Founder & Managing Director
I was raised watching my parents serve through the church and within our community, not as an obligation, but as an expression of who they were. That example shaped my values early on and as a teenager, I found my passion for serving and experienced firsthand how meaningful it is to show up for others. My love for serving God's people was passed down to my daughter Mia, who developed her own passion for helping others as a young teen. After years of Mia following her own passion for serving, she came to me one day and said she wanted to “do more,”. Together we formed Hearts of Grace. When it came time to give our nonprofit a name, I knew Hearts of Grace was the perfect name for our mission as it captures Mia's essence. She has always had a heart full of grace for everyone, and has always been a source of love and compassion.
While Hearts of Grace began as a way to support my daughter’s calling, it became a personal mission for me as well. Through this work, I stepped into mentoring teens in college and career readiness, and working with at-risk youth.
We are faith-led people, and that faith guides how we serve. At the same time, Hearts of Grace exists for everyone. We go where God leads us, without conditions, and we work to ensure that every person we serve feels supported, regardless of their relationship with God.
Hearts of Grace is more than a nonprofit. It is the expression of our love, faith, compassion, and generosity tied to a purpose lived out across generations.
