This month, we hosted foster parents and families at a picnic! Alongside Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, Easterseals, and Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois (LCFS), we came together to celebrate all the hard work our foster parents do and all of the joy they bring to their families.

Thank you, foster parents, for all you do!

Hope happens when a community comes together. 💙

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 4th annual Luncheon! More than 100 supporters, partners, and community leaders helped raise over $160,000 to support children, youth, and families across Illinois and Florida.

We were honored to hear powerful stories of resilience, healing, and hope. Including from alum Jenna and her family, whose journey highlighted the life-changing impact of supportive relationships and family reunification.

A special thank you to our event host, CBS Chicago's Jackie Kostek, and to our Visionary Sponsor, Edward Jones, for helping make this inspiring afternoon possible.

Because of supporters like you, One Hope United can continue providing safe homes, quality early learning, mental health services, and opportunities for children and families to thrive.

Thank you for believing in a future where every child has safety, stability, opportunity, and hope. ✨

Edward Jones has been a supporter of One Hope United for many years. Their involvement has helped hundreds of children receive gifts during the holidays, given warm meals to families in the winter months, and allowed for parents to learn financial literacy during their events.

This year, Edward Jones has stepped up their impact by becoming our Visionary sponsor for our annual fundraiser, Thriving Together.

We can't thank them enough for their support over the years and for their continued dedication to helping families thrive.

From volunteering and attending fundraisers to serving on our Board of Directors, RJ and his wife Judy have remained committed to helping children, youth, and families thrive. Along the way, their passion for our mission inspired their entire family to get involved.

"We enjoy visiting the early learning centers where you could really see the mission and how it delivers the services that we do."

Thank you, RJ, Judy, and the entire Young family for your years of support and partnership 💙
