Thank you to The Well Pella The Well Ames for donating a bike for one of our residents.

Transportation is one of the challenges we regularly help residents navigate, so this gift will make such a difference.

We are grateful for your generosity and support.

Today is an exciting day as we welcome a new resident into our men’s home. We’re grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside him as he begins this new chapter.

Please join us in praying for him as he settles in, builds new routines, and looks toward the future with hope.

We’re honored to share that Anchored Hope has earned the 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid — the highest level of recognition for nonprofit transparency and accountability.

At a time when trust in nonprofits matters more than ever, we remain committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and responsible stewardship of every dollar entrusted to us.

Thank you for believing in the mission of Anchored Hope as we support young adults ages 18–24 with foster care experience through housing, mentorship, life skills, and community.

We’re grateful to stand alongside each young person as they build stability, connection, and hope for the future.

A large tree branch came crashing down last week, and we’re so thankful for the anonymous helper who cut it up and cleared it away for us. Your kindness and willingness to serve meant more than you know.

We loved welcoming so many people to our open house last night and are so thankful for everyone who came out to support Anchored Hope.

One of the highlights was getting to know this incredible young woman over the past few weeks. After aging out of foster care herself, she is now working toward starting a nonprofit to support others. We loved having her with us last night and are excited to cheer her on.
