Heart Gallery

The Heart Gallery of Summit County Children Services is an exciting photographic display featuring many children who wait to be adopted.  Each photograph captures the unique spirit and individuality of the child.  The purpose of the Heart Gallery is to raise the community's awareness of the growing number of children who need adoptive families.

The children featured in Summit County Children Services' Heart Gallery are boys and girls of all ages.  Some are siblings who want and need to remain together.  Their common bond is their need for adoptive families.

The Heart Gallery will be on display at various locations in Summit County throughout the year.  Below is a list of upcoming locations:
