Our mission is to actively engage and bring the community together to help the food-insecure.

Rustic Love is now an official 501(c)3 organization! We promote philanthropy in children and families by creating volunteer opportunities to build wooden heart signs as a community fundraiser. Proceeds from our sales and generous donations from our community support organizations that help the food-insecure, including school food pantries and other non-profit organizations that provide support services to those in need.

To-date, we have raised more than $500,000 and dotted our community with more than 6,000 heart signs - all from financial support within our community! Our heart signs have become a symbol of proactive caring and concern for others and we’re delighted to know that some of our hearts are displayed in other states and countries!

Are you interested in signing up as a volunteer? Simply fill out this form. As sign builds are planned, we will send out a Sign-up Genius to all interested parties to fill the spots.

➡️ Please note: our experience shows that sign making is best suited for high school students and older. Interested in a team-building sign build and want to help sell signs to your group or community? Contact us at rusticlovevienna@gmail.com
