Where

Foster Families Find Family.

Fostering Hope volunteers become “aunts, uncles, and grandparents” to foster families—walking alongside them for as long as they foster. Their presence prevents parents from giving up when the work gets hard and creates belonging for children who have experienced abuse and neglect. While practical help with meals, laundry, rides, and childcare eases the daily burden, it is the relationship that makes the work sustainable. 

Fostering Hope is a proven model that surrounds foster families with teams of volunteers so children can heal—now expanding to communities across the country.

Family from

start to finish.

A judge cannot order love from the bench. A caseworker cannot come over for coffee when a foster mom needs a listening ear. 

At Fostering Hope, we do not license foster families or work within the child welfare system. Our volunteers—with ongoing guidance and mentorship from trained social workers—become like extended family, providing the lasting love and relationships a system is not designed to deliver. 

These are the same things we try to create for our own children: belonging, encouragement, and someone who will stay when life gets hard. And it makes all the difference.
