Amy Bunker
Founding Director

Amy Bunker is a graduate of the Family and Human Services program at the University of Oregon. She has worked for the Oregon Dept. of Human Services (ODHS) as a young children's permanency caseworker and visit supervisor from 2009-2014, as intake staff and supervision for CASA, and as a ODHS hotline screener. In 2013 she began spearheading a holiday drive for permanency units at the Alberta child welfare office, providing gifts to over 200 children. These drives would prove to become the foundation for Howard's Heart, named for her maternal grandfather, who was a survivor of the foster system.
