Every child deserves a family

Every one can help.

We mobilize churches and communities to bring hope to foster, adoptive, and vulnerable children by strengthening their families.
Our vision is to see every church in Delaware be a place where children in foster care or in need of adoption are known, loved, and supported - and that everyone has a clear next step in how to faithfully help.

Testimonials

Stories of Hope.

"My family and I first went to a Family Hope Coalition event held at Milburn Orchards. The kids had a great time (bobbing for donuts was a particular highlight) and we all appreciated the opportunity to spend time with families like ours. The thing we appreciate most about Family Hope Coalition is the community it provides.”

Angus W.
foster & adoptive father

"Family Hope Coalition has provided our family with a safe, supportive community of foster/adoptive families who understand, support, and love us well. Foster care/adoption is a difficult road for all parties involved, but knowing you are not alone and that you are prayed/cared for makes all the difference.”
