If you ever questioned the existence of angels, you have never met Andrea King.  Our team met with her back in late January 2020.  We were in search of a volunteer project.  We sat across a large table from this sweet, soft-spoken lady as she shared her story.  By the end of that meeting, we were wiping tears and asking her for a hug!!  What a wonderful mission God has given this faithful servant.  It was evident within a few minutes of our meeting that Charlotte Motor Speedway had a new partner for our community service work!  Little did we know that Covid-19 was knocking on the door…. With our state and schools closing, the need just grew exponentially.  Can you imagine losing one of the only sources of food for your children?  Without hesitation, our crew was able to assist with preparing school food bags, helping to fill more than 10719 bags!  We prayed over each van load that we prepared, knowing that God is the ultimate provider!  Ms. King’s story is a true testimony to HIS power and love!  Needs were being met!

Roberta Methodist Church has partnered with Esther’s Heart for the past eight years.  The founder, Andrea King, has talked to our congregation on numerous occasions.  The feedback we have had from our congregation has been overwhelmingly positive.  Many people have said they could listen to her speak all day.  The team’s dedication to feeding hungry school children who otherwise would do without is commendable.  Roberta Methodist Church has been blessed by Partnering with Esther’s Heart.

Esther's Heart has made such an impact within Cabarrus County and to the families of Wolf Meadow Elementary School. Their vision to serve and combat the distraction of hunger in our community is not an easy task to tackle however they do it with such grace and selflessness. Nothing has or can stand in their way of adhering to their vision. As a staff member of the Wolf Meadow Family I am honored to have a partnership with Andrea and Esther's Heart and I am grateful for the work they continue to do throughout our community!

Thank-you so much for all you do for our students and families here at Beverly Hills Elementary School. It is truly appreciated. We are so Blessed to have such an amazing program to help our families in need. The program that you provide is a true blessing and we cannot thank-you enough! GOD Bless you!

Our youth ministry has had "A.C.T.I.O.N. Wednesdays" (A Call To Invest in Our Neighbors) for many years. We have had the privilege to serve many organizations.  We became acquainted with Esther's Heart last year and it has, by far, become our favorite ministry site at which to volunteer.  Not only do we get to be a part of hunger relief in our own area, but we get to do so with Ms. Andrea King, whose heart is even bigger than the tons of food she's delivered over the years.  When we serve there, our youth have asked, "Can we come here every time?" Ms. King is a selfless servant of the community and of Jesus Christ.  We love her and we love the ministry she started, Esther's Heart for Transformation!

Our relationship with Ms. King and Esther’s Heart for Transformation has been such a blessing!  Just an hour or so of your day provides the gratitude that each food item you place in that bag is going to fight the distraction of hunger!

Esther's Heart, led by Andrea King, is an amazing ministry. We love partnering with this great organization, because we know the impact they are making is great. They are feeding so many people and are providing hope to people of all ages. Thank you Esther's Heart for not only meeting the physical needs, but also sharing Christ with everyone you come into contact with. 

Thank you so much for conducting our program on Bullying for the Mac House children. We are sure that those in tutoring left with a different perspective on the many forms of bullying, and will hopefully conduct themselves accordingly after knowing the damage it can cause. There are not enough words to express our thanks for providing such an important topic… so, we will simply say, “Thank You!”

Esther's Heart continues to be a vital community partnership for us at Beverly Hills STEM Elementary.  Ms. King and her volunteers are wonderful folks and always happy to help and uplift others with their generous spirit and mission.  Over the years, so many of our families in the community have benefited from receiving their Food Backpacks.  Some of these families never anticipated requiring this type of assistance and Esther's Heart met their needs with reliability, compassion, and hope.  Food insecurity remains a concern across the country, and we are so blessed to have the support of Esther's Heart as we all care for our community's children and families together.

Volunteering with Esther’s Heart has opened my eyes to the vast number of problems, resulting from hunger, that can follow a child into adulthood.
