About Heart to Heart Experiences

Heart to Heart Experiences is passionate about helping local and overseas communities. We seek to put names and faces to the poor by touching the pain, comforting the weeping, and satisfying the hungry.

Heart to Heart Experiences seeks to transform hearts, because the poor are our priority.

“ The key to ending extreme poverty and hunger is to recognize that behind every statistic, there is the face of a person who is suffering. Poverty has a face! It has the face of a child; it has the face of a family; it has the face of people, young and old. It has the face of widespread unemployment and lack of opportunity. ”

– Pope Francis

Our decision to change hearts and lives

Promise to never say good-bye.

On August 12, 2015, in a little café in Madison, Wisconsin, a group of four got together to combine their gifts and talents to create a ministry rooted in the service of Christ called Heart to Heart Experiences, Inc.

Melanie Ahern, Todd Argall, Lee Haase, and Mark Landgraf decided short term mission trips were not enough. The people they met on service trips over a span of 6 years desired long term relationships filled with support, care, and love. They saw how the trips in which they participated impacted not only the lives of those being served, but also the hearts of the high school students, college students, and parents providing the service.

Our decision to change hearts and lives

Every trip had stories filled with names and faces.

Every trip had stories of laughter and tears. Every trip had hungry eyes and sad hearts. Every trip had stories of promises to return and never say good-bye.

Stories are something that transcend culture, race, age, beliefs, and time. Heart to Heart Experiences was formed to act mercifully on behalf of Pope Francis and the Catholic Church by faithfully living out the call of the Gospel. We strive to share our time and hearts with the poor and vulnerable. We promise to bring hope to people in complicated situations and to share their stories with others.
