1—Heart Gallery Alabama helps find forever families for young people in foster care
Heart Gallery Alabama is a Birmingham-based nonprofit that was founded almost 15 years ago, in 2005. Their original goal? Help at least one child in the foster care system find a forever home.
What started as a dream has turned into finding forever homes for more than 65% of the children they’ve worked with.
How they do it? Together with DHR and professional photographers, they create beautiful portraits and thoughtful interviews with children who are longing for a forever family.
They pull all of this together into a traveling exhibit that helps raise awareness about children in the foster care system and helps find forever families.

3—Heart Gallery Alabama will be honoring three Heart Gallery Heroes
Heart Gallery Heroes are the amazing volunteers and supporters who make Heart Gallery Alabama’s work possible.
Exceptional Heart Award: Total Skin and Beauty Dermatology Center
Total Skin & Beauty has been a supporter since Heart Gallery Alabama was formed in 2005. Here’s what Dr. James Krell had to say:
Total Skin and Beauty and all of its partners reach out to organizations in the community that do the kinds of things we believe in. We are all about improving the health of our Birmingham community.
Heart Gallery improves the psychological and overall health of the older age foster children it serves. Even more, the entire family who adopts each child has improved pyschological health.
It’s the beautiful connections that Heart Gallery makes with people that makes it so special.
Karen Nomburg Volunteer Inspiration Award: Chris and Amber Flint
Heart Gallery Alabama’s Executive Director Michelle Bearman-Wolnek had this to say about Chris and Amber Flint:
Chris & Amber have made a huge impact on our organization ever since they moved back to the Birmingham area. They both have been ‘boots on the ground.’ This means they offer both physical and financial support to make sure that every child knows the love and support of a family!
Photographer of the Year: Kim Box Photography
Kim Box Photography is a Montgomery-based team of creatives who shoot weddings, portraits, babies and more. Here’s what they had to say:
Kim Box Photography began shooting for Heart Gallery around 13 years ago. Kim, Josh and Brooke have had the privilege of capturing the children Heart Gallery works so hard to connect with their forever families.
We believe in the power of photographs. Photos can capture the essence of a person and can connect people on an emotional level. We truly are excited that our trade helps equip Heart Gallery to showcase the amazing children they faithfully serve.
Our privilege to capture them is more rewarding than money could offer. Shooting for Heart Gallery is an outlet with a unique and special purpose for us. We are grateful for the time we have spent and are looking forward to the future with Heart Gallery.
