Heartfelt's mission statement is: "Changing people's lives through the healing power of heartfelt service." People and the loving heart are a primary focus of our work, and volunteers are the key to our success.

The Foundation's service includes: assisting at-risk and in-need families, providing support and services to disadvantaged or abused children, helping the homeless and comforting the sick. Thousands of people in need have been served by our loving volunteers.

An important part of Heartfelt's work is the HeartReach Program, which reaches out with food, medicine loving and caring hearts and Light support to members of our spiritual family who are undergoing life-challenging or medical crises. As a result of the short-term support that HeartReach is able to provide, people are cared for through difficult situations.

ONTARIO CONSULTANTS ON RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE
http://www.religioustolerance.org/

They are four volunteers of very different faiths. Their group is not affiliated with any religious organization. They rely on the revenue from banner ads, readers' donations, and the occasional lecture fee to enable them to continue their work. They try to be tolerant of all religious beliefs; try to write accurate, balanced, clear, objective and inclusive articles. They often tackle tough religious questions. They don't promote a specific religious viewpoint; they don't attack anyone's theological beliefs. They don't value religious beliefs over secularism or vice-versa.

THE PLURALISM PROJECT
http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~pluralsm/

The Pluralism Project was developed by Diana L. Eck at Harvard University to study and document the growing religious diversity of the United States, with a special view to its new immigrant religious communities. In the past thirty years, the religious landscape of the U.S. has changed radically. There are Islamic centers and mosques, Hindu and Buddhist temples and meditation centers in virtually every major American city. The encounter between people of very different religious traditions takes place in the proximity of our own cities and neighborhoods. How Americans of all faiths begin to engage with one another in shaping a positive pluralism is one of the most important questions American society faces in the years ahead.
