The Crisis
Indiana is facing a serious child-welfare crisis:
Thousands of children are in foster care with over 12,000 open cases statewide.
Roughly half of new foster parents quit within their first year, reducing stability for kids.
Globally, 153 million children are orphans, and 69 million suffer malnutrition—showing this challenge extends beyond our borders.
These statistics reveal an urgent need for stable families, strong support systems, and loving homes for vulnerable children.
Our Solution
We believe every child deserves a loving, secure home — and together, we can make that possible.
Hands of Hope mobilizes churches and individuals to:
Support and encourage foster families through practical help and emotional care.
Provide financial support to adoptive families so children can find permanent, loving homes.
Provide biological families with care and resources so children can remain safely with their families whenever possible.
Partner with trusted children’s homes locally and globally so every child is safe, supported, and able to thrive.

Going Deep for Lasting Impact
