Together for Hope work in the lower Rio Grande Valley is called KidsHeart, which is a partnership between CBF and Buckner Baptist Benevolences in Hidalgo, Starr, Willacy, and even Cameron counties.  KidsHeart work has been among children and youth through art camps, Vacation Bible School, sport camps, youth camps, youth recreation and youth Bible studies.  For the adults, there have been sewing/quilting classes, computer classes, arts/crafts classes, gardening and ESL instruction.  There are also construction and painting teams that work on homes or community projects.  Dental and medical teams also work in the area through community centers.
