Through a simple partnership with Hope & Home, you can offer a dynamic ministry opportunity to your church members with no cost and minimal effort on your part! As one of our church partners in our work to find and train Christian foster families, we would provide you with:

• A support group for current and potential foster parents at your church once a month, for which we would provide instructors, training materials and refreshments;
• A free Love to Nurture parenting class for interested church members, which we would offer and conduct at your church once a month;
• A link to your church highlighting your foster care and other outreach efforts on our Hope & Home website.

In return, as a partner church we would ask you to:

• Sign a nonbinding letter of understanding
• Allow us to make a brief, once-a-year presentation to your members before a weekend service;
• Nominate one church member to be your official liaison to Hope & Home, someone who could answer members' questions about foster care; and
• Add a link to Hope & Home in your website's ministry project section.

It's that easy--and yet full of powerful potential to change the lives of hundreds of children in foster care in Colorado Springs. For more information on becoming a church partner with Hope & Home, call Bridgette at 575-9887, x1012.

Help Hope & Home recruit new foster parents from your organization by:

• Sponsoring and running a picnic or other special event for our kids and families;
• Allowing us to make a lunchtime presentation on foster care at your organization;
• If several or more employees become foster parents, allowing us to hold a support group on site for them once a month, for which we would provide instructors, training manuals and refreshments;
• Allowing employees to take our one-day Love to Nurture parenting class at Hope & Home, or inviting us to present the class at your organization once a week for a month in the evening;
• Appointing one employee to serve as your company’s liaison to Hope & Home, someone who could answer employees’ questions about foster care.

Help Hope & Home with fundraising efforts by:

• Underwriting our annual events such as the Great Swing Set Build-Away or the High Hopes & High Fashions dinner, show and fundraiser;
• Sponsoring a table of 10 at High Hopes & High Fashions (scheduled for September 12 this year at the Crowne Plaza);
• Making Hope & Home an option in your company’s charitable giving program.
