“The Gathering of Hope Banquet will have two excellent speakers in Kelsey and Josh this year,” says Alyx Bates, Heartline’s director of operations. “We’re thrilled to have them, and we can’t wait to share the night with the people in our community.”
Heartline is dedicated to combating generational and situational poverty through a variety of programs, working to empower and equip men and women in the community who are involved with an unplanned pregnancy.
