February Events

The Heart Gallery of Metro Orlando is an innovative gallery-style photo exhibit that features some of the foster children available for adoption in central Florida.

This touching traveling exhibit raises awareness of the critical need for more foster and adoptive parents. It displays each child with a large artistic portrait and includes information about each child's needs and interests.

The Heart Gallery of Metro Orlando is a program of Family Services of Metro Orlando and the State of Florida Department of Children and Families. Family Services of Metro Orlando is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to bringing people together to create possibilities for children and families living in Osceola and Orange Counties.

Did you know that Central Florida is second in the nation in numbers of abused and neglected children? Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these children!
