WE’RE EXPANDING
Thanks to the faithful support of so many, God’s calling, church partnerships, and answered prayers we’re expanding. Five additional counties have been added to our footprint in Florida. This is on top of the six counties we are currently serving in. Watch the video to find out more of this amazing story.
BIG NEWS!
We Give Hope
Nine children, on average, are removed from their homes every day in the six counties we serve in the Suncoast region of Florida. They’re removed because of abuse, neglect, and abandonment. Then most enter a new season of life in foster care. These children desperately need to know there is a Door of Hope.
OUR CORE SERVICES
RECRUIT: We constantly seek out and screen potential new Christian foster families.
TRAIN: Starting with info sessions through parenting classes, we prepare each family to foster.
LICENSE: From home visits to extensive paperwork, we license each foster home.
SUPPORT: This is our heartbeat. We personally care for and pray with each family.
Here at A Door of Hope, our mission is to show the world, through our work, that the message of Christ is the ultimate Door of Hope.
THE REALITY
NINE CHILDREN EVERY DAY
are removed from their homes in Tampa Bay, Manatee, and Sarasota counties.
NOT ENOUGH HOMES
There is a shortage of foster homes in our region of Florida, many children need a permanent foster home.
IT TAKES THE CHURCH
If 1 family from each church opened their home to 1 foster child, then every child would have a home.
Our Goal for the Next 5 Years
TOTAL NUMBER OF LICENSED FOSTER HOMES SINCE 2011
1,000 (+ 531)
TOTAL NUMBER OF FOSTER CHILDREN PLACED SINCE 2011
7,000 (+4,639)
