FOOD DISTRIBUTION to foster families weekly. Hope Chest delivers food, milk, household items, baby items, clothing and furniture to foster youth and families.

CAMPS for foster youth to promote better self-esteem, self-sufficient youth, communication skills, musical instruction and team building.

TRANSITIONAL HOUSING for foster youth, youth that have been in foster care and at risk youth and families. Emphasis is placed on older youth aging out of foster care system. We provide mentoring, guidance and resources to youth 18 years - 24 years of age.

MUSICAL AND EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS for foster youth, youth that have been in the foster care system and at risk youth. “Gabriel’s Song” was created to provide foster youth, youth that have been in foster care and at risk youth the opportunity to own their own instrument and receive instruction. Scholarships are provided to youth that are graduating from high school and pursuing higher education.

RESPITE AND EMERGENCY PLACEMENT program is currently being developed. This center will be a place for foster families to use for respite and for agencies needing a place for emergency situations. We are seeking funding to develop homes to transition youth into until they are reunified with their biological families or an adoptive family is found. We hope to help with the difficult transition process and eliminate or reduce disruptions into the homes they are placed.
