What. A. Day. ❤️

Our hearts are FULL after the Heart & Harvest Festival!

To every person who came out today, brought your family, supported our vendors, bought a raffle ticket, placed an auction bid, grabbed a T-shirt, enjoyed the music, shared our posts, donated, volunteered, or simply showed up to be part of this day… THANK YOU.

And to our incredible sponsors and community partners, this event simply would not have been possible without you. Your generosity, your belief in this mission, and your willingness to step up for the Men’s Hope Center helped turn an idea into something truly special.

Seeing our community gathered together today reminded us exactly why Heart of Catawba exists. When local businesses, organizations, artists, families, and neighbors come together for a common purpose, incredible things can happen.

We’re already looking forward to Heart & Harvest 2027! ❤️🌾

But we aren’t quite finished yet!

📣 Join us LIVE Monday on the Heart of Catawba page! We’ll be announcing our auction winners and drawing our raffle prize winners, so make sure you’re following Heart of Catawba and stay tuned for the Live!

From all of us at Heart of Catawba, thank you for making our first Heart & Harvest Festival one we will never forget. ❤️

🍔🌭🥤 Great food. Great people. An even greater purpose.

One of the best parts of any community event is sharing a great meal, and we're incredibly grateful for the local businesses that have chosen to be part of Heart & Harvest Festival.

This year, you'll enjoy delicious food and refreshing drinks from:

🍔 Bubba & Mert's Burgers
🔥 Smolder & Smoke BBQ
🍋 Living Water Lemonade

What makes this even more special is that each of these vendors has generously committed to donating a portion of their sales to benefit the Men's Hope Center in Maiden.

Their willingness to serve goes beyond the food they prepare. They're helping invest in hope, recovery, and restoration right here in our community.

Join us on Saturday, August 15 at LP Frans Stadium for an afternoon of live music, inspiring testimonies, great food, fellowship, and the opportunity to support a mission that is changing lives.

💬 We've got an important question...
