Heartland International Fashion Week Gives Back
At Heartland International Fashion Week, we believe in using fashion as a force for good. Each year, we select a nonprofit organization to support, and for Season Five, we are proud to partner with Feed a Family—a dedicated nonprofit fighting hunger in Mexico. Through community-driven efforts and partnerships, Feed a Family has provided over 70,000 meals, ensuring families have access to nutritious food and resources for a better future.
A portion of the proceeds from this year’s fashion week will go directly to Feed a Family, helping to provide meals and essential support to those in need. When you purchase a ticket, you’re not only witnessing an unforgettable celebration of global fashion but also making a meaningful impact. Thank you for joining us in giving back!
