Changing the future... one child at a time

There are many items, events, and experiences that foster children often miss out on that are part of a typical childhood and family. Our goal at Blair Hope is to raise the monetary funding and in-kind donations from individuals, corporations and organizations in an effort to PROVIDE a more typical childhood and family experience. Secondly, as children “age out” of the foster care system and gain their independence, they are often ill-equipped to jump directly into adulthood. Statistics show that 40% of youth that age out of foster care end up homeless, and 60% of aged out males are convicted of a crime before age 24. Blair Hope will partner with Blair County CYF to target this group of youth to better PREPARE them for their independence & their future as adults. Lastly, for families seeking to adopt and create a forever family for those open and free for adoption, Blair Hope will create a financial grant to offset adoption related expenses in an effort to facilitate PERMANENCY through the lifetime bond of a family.

November is National Adoption Month

Loneliness is not present in Heaven. When you eliminate loneliness, even in the life of one child, you bring Heaven to earth.

November is National Adoption Month

The Lord puts the lonely in families.

When we adopt or support adoption or defend the cause of the fatherless, we are partnering with the Creator in the creation of families.

Thank you to Rev Fred Hickok and the Jaggard UMC for their hospitality this morning!

The glory of God is most evident when His body, His bride pursues the hearts and lives of the most vulnerable among us!

At Blair Hope, 1 of our 3 principles is to advocate permanence…to help remove the financial barrier of adoption by providing a grant to adopting individuals and families in Blair County to cover the attorney fees of finalization.

TODAY, we sent the check to cover our THIRD adoption of this summer!

The Lord puts the lonely in families, and we believe that when we advocate for permanence and help to create forever families, we are partnering with our Creator.

When you support Blair Hope, you can know that 100% of your donation goes directly to supporting efforts like these!

“Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭68‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

In the next 30 days, Blair Hope will partner with our creator in 3 adoptions! 3 children will become part of a permanent family and home!

Permanency is at the heart of who we are and what we do.

May is National Foster Care Month!

Every year, over 200 unique children spend time in Blair County's foster care system. These are our children. We see them in church and at the grocery store. Foster care is MORE than a safe place to sleep...it's a family, an opportunity, and a time to know how special each child really is.

Join with Blair Hope in providing for the most vulnerable among us!

05/29/2026

May is National Foster Care Month and Blair Hope is dedicated to serving and providing for the children in Blair County’s foster care system.

No single organization can provide a more typical childhood and family experience alone…it requires that everyone who can, begin to do.

As we head in summer break and making memories, won’t you join us?
