These kiddos are officially **Lemonade for HOPE** participants! 🍋💛

They stopped by the 1HOPE office to pick up their lemonade kits and spent some time learning about foster care and how **they** can make a difference in the lives of local foster children and families.

We love seeing young people discover that no matter their age, they can help bring hope, kindness, and support to others in our community. We can't wait to see their lemonade stands in action this summer!

💙 Thank You, Small Business, BIG Hearts 💙

We are incredibly grateful to Big Hearts Small Business for hosting their first-ever Kids Helping Kids Day of Giving Back and choosing to support 1HOPE, our foster families, and vulnerable children in our community.

One of the most beautiful things about this event was seeing children learn that they don't have to wait until they're adults to make a difference. Through acts of service, generosity, and kindness, these young leaders demonstrated the power of helping others and showed what it means to care for children and families who need support.

At 1HOPE, we believe that every child deserves to feel loved, valued, and supported. Because of the efforts of Small Business, BIG Hearts and everyone who participated, more foster families will experience encouragement, more vulnerable children will receive care, and our community will continue to grow stronger together.

Thank you to Small business, BIG Hearts the children, families, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this event such a success. Together, we are raising up a generation of compassionate leaders who understand the importance of serving others.

💙 Today's helpers become tomorrow's leaders, and we are so thankful to be part of their journey.

🎒👟 LACES & LUNCH BOXES IS BACK! 👟🎒

Help us send foster children and families back to school with confidence, dignity, and style!

1HOPE is now accepting donations for our Laces & Lunch Boxes Back-to-School Drive, and we need your help to make a difference in the lives of the children we serve.

We are collecting:
✅ NEW shoes (all sizes)
✅ Lunch boxes
✅ Water bottles

For many children in foster care, starting a new school year can be challenging. A new pair of shoes, a backpack, or a lunch box can provide more than just necessities—it can help build confidence, create a sense of belonging, and remind them that their community cares.

Every donation, big or small, helps ensure that children head back to school feeling prepared, supported, and ready to succeed.

Join us in helping our kids walk into the new school year with confidence and hope!

📚 Donations are being accepted now.

💙 Together, we can make a lasting impact.
