LOVE FOSTERS HOPE
Mission Statement
Inspiring hope and bringing healing to children and youth in foster care, who have been abused, abandoned and neglected. Kids and teens in foster care long to experience acceptance and provisions, and instead face a future of uncertainty where so many odds are stacked against them. Our goal is to model the character of Jesus for them, show them their value as individuals, and equip them with the tools they need to live independently and to the fullness of their God-given potential. The centerpiece of our ministry is summer camps, where these precious young lives can trade feelings of hurt and rejection for self-esteem, love and respect. We fulfill our mission by providing uniquely designed transformative summer camps, year-round mentoring, outreach to resident treatment centers, campers reunions, and practical support for young adults aging out of foster care.
