A HUGE thank you to Thompson Farm for welcoming our 1HOPE foster families for a wonderful day of fall fun! 🍁

Our families had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall weather, participate in fun activities, and most importantly, create special memories together!

One of our favorite parts of events like these is seeing our 1HOPE families come together, connect with one another, build friendships, and enjoy time as a community. These moments remind us just how special it is to create opportunities for foster families to feel supported, connected, and surrounded by others walking a similar journey.

We are incredibly grateful for community partners like Thompson Farm who generously open their doors and help us provide meaningful experiences for the families we serve.

Thank you for helping us create a day filled with smiles, laughter, connection, and unforgettable fall memories! Your kindness and generosity mean so much to our 1HOPE community! 🧡

🎄Help Make Christmas Wishes Come True for 1HOPE Foster Children!

Christmas is right around the corner, and we’re looking for some special Santa’s Helpers to help us spread a little extra Christmas magic this year! 🎅🏼🎁

We’re collecting Christmas wish lists from the foster children we serve, and each child has shared one special wish valued around $25. With the help of our amazing community, we hope to make every one of those wishes come true!

✨ Want to be one of Santa’s Helpers? There are several ways to get involved!

🎁 Purchase one special gift for a foster child
🎄 Shop for multiple children or an entire family
❤️ Visit our 1HOPE Christmas Tree in the upcoming weeks, choose a child’s wish card, and shop for their gift!

No gift is too small, and you don't have to shop for an entire family to make a difference! Whether you purchase one gift or several, your generosity helps bring joy to a foster child this Christmas season. ❤️

Progress is happening in our 1HOPE Boutique! We are so excited to see this room come together and cannot wait to welcome and bless children coming into foster care.

Please keep praying that this space will help each child feel seen, valued, and confident—a place where they can choose items of their own and know they are loved.

We need you here in Kenosha! If fostering has been on your heart, consider taking that first step. 1HOPE will come alongside you with support, encouragement, and help along the way. You don’t have to do this alone!

A huge THANK YOU to Jason Kurtzweil for helping us transform a room right here in our building into a special boutique for our 1HOPE kiddos!

Just ONE day in, and it’s already looking so good! We can’t wait to watch this space come together and become a place where kids entering foster care can walk in, choose things they love, and know that those things are theirs to keep.

This little room is the beginning of a BIG dream.

Stay tuned… we can’t wait to show you the progress!

We still need our community's help! Please donate today!

We’ve had a few questions about where the 1HOPE Boutique will be! 💙 We’re using a room right inside our current 1HOPE office—taking what we have and turning it into something special.

Here’s a peek at what it looks like today! With the help of our amazing community, we hope to transform it soon into a welcoming space where children entering foster care can choose clothing, essentials, and comfort items of their very own.

It’s a room with a big purpose, and we can’t wait to share the progress with you! 💙

❤️ FAMILY NIGHT is one of our favorite nights at 1HOPE!

This past week we had another wonderful night with our amazing 1HOPE families. Family Night is about so much more than diapers, wipes, clothing and supplies.

It’s a night to come together.
To connect.
To laugh.
To check in.
To bless our families and remind them they have a community surrounding them. ❤️

We love seeing familiar faces, watching kids grow, catching up with our foster parents and simply spending time together.

This is what 1HOPE is all about—community showing up for families and kids. 🫶

We are so grateful for every volunteer, donor and partner who helps make nights like this possible!

BOUTIQUE THANK YOU!

A huge thank you to Jill Davis Heinritzfor supporting the new 1HOPE Boutique with their generous donation financially.

Every contribution is helping us create a special place for children entering foster care—a place where they can walk in, choose clothes and shoes THEY love, pick out a comfort item, and know that everything they choose is theirs to keep.

We have already seen the smiles, the excitement, and even the little twirls when a child finds something they love. Those moments remind us exactly why this Boutique matters.

Jill, thank you for believing in our mission and helping us create a space where kids feel seen, valued, loved, and given the dignity of choice.

And if you’ve been looking for a way to come alongside 1HOPE, we would love your help bringing this Boutique to life. Every gift—big or small—helps us create a space filled with choices, comfort, and hope for kids who need it most.

You can help make the 1HOPE Boutique a reality here:

Our community is making this possible, one donation and one child at a time.
