Salute to Families 2023


For almost 40 years, Heartland Family Service has been hosting this event to celebrate strong families and individuals in the community who place a high priority on building and strengthening their bonds, while encouraging individual growth and community involvement.

Join us at our Salute to Families event as we honor these families and family advocates.

Awarded Categories & Criteria

Family – Heartland Family Service is a non-sectarian organization and celebrates diversity in family structures, from two-parent and single-parent households to blended, adoptive, and extended families. Past recipients have been of a variety of ancestry, socioeconomic status, religion, and sexual orientation. The only common features among honorees are an outstanding commitment to maintaining a family-centered culture and fostering a healthy mind, body, and spirit for each and every family member.

  • Community Service Family – Those who have offered considerable volunteer service, and have encouraged their children to learn about and accept responsibilities toward others.
