- March 15, 2016 became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization

Help Further Our Ministry Efforts
Footprints on the Heart is a faith-based 501(c)3 nonprofit ministry based in Bartow County, Georgia. We are dedicated to walking alongside families who are facing a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis, pregnancy loss, or have experienced the unimaginable death of a baby within the first two years of life. Our in-person service area is comprised of: Bartow, Floyd, Gordon, Murray, Polk, and Whitfield Counties. All of our peer support and services are provided at NO COST to the families, hospitals, and funeral homes we are blessed to serve. When needed we also help to provide online peer support and online/national grief resources to bereaved families outside of our service area.
