Fostering Hope of Muskogee

Fostering Hope of Muskogee Fostering Hope provides support to children from the moment they enter foster care and throughout their journey. Visit fosteringhopemuskogee.org to learn more.

Fostering Hope exists to meet the needs of foster children across Oklahoma. When a child is removed and placed in foster care, financial aid is not received immediately. Children typically bring little to nothing in their possessions. The possessions they do bring are carried out of the home in a trash bag. Our state has taken to heart our goal of no more "trash bags" kids. With a backpack full of

everything they need, foster children of all ages feel loved and nurtured. We have expanded our services for removed children with the Fostering Hope House. Instead of extended waiting at DHS offices, this facility will offer a safe and friendly place for children to await placement. Bathing facilities, a kitchen, and a respite space make a traumatic time less frightening, and more comfortable for children. In addition we also offer on/the-go Birthday Parties for children in foster care.
*If you have a new placement and need an emergency bag, have an upcoming birthday for a foster child, or if you are a social worker and need to bring a child to the hope house please reach out. We are here 24/7. For more information go to: fosteringhopemuskogee.org

Summer clothing is going quickly at Fostering Hope, and we could use our community’s help.

We are currently accepting new and gently used summer clothes for girls and boys of all ages. These donations help us make sure children have comfortable, season-appropriate clothing when they need it most.

If you’d like to help, donations can be dropped off at Fostering Hope, or you can message us for specific sizes and current needs.

Thank you for helping us keep kids cared for, comfortable, and ready for summer.

We have several birthday wishes we’re hoping our community can help fulfill.

At Fostering Hope, every Birthday Bag is personalized so children feel seen, celebrated, and special on their day. Right now, we have a few requests that could use some extra support, from a little girl hoping for a black Nike hoodie and shoes, to a boy who would love cowboy clothes and Minecraft items, to a little girl wanting dress-up clothes, and a 7-year-old wishing for a bike.

If you’d like to help make one of these birthdays extra meaningful, please reach out to us through our socials or contact the office.

Because every birthday matters — and every child deserves to feel celebrated. *Needed by July 1.

This month, hope showed up in real and practical ways.

Because of this community, Fostering Hope was able to serve children and families across Oklahoma through:

40 Bags of Hope
25 Birthday Bags
10 Hope House Guests
75 Total Kids Served

Every number represents a child, a family, a moment of support, and a reminder that they are not alone.

Thank you for helping us continue to meet needs with care, dignity, and compassion.

Thank you to FTG 4H for supporting Fostering Hope through their mother-son event at the high school gym.

By selling tickets and donating a portion of the proceeds, they helped raise $500 to support children and families served by Fostering Hope.

We’re so grateful for community groups that find meaningful ways to give back. Every fundraiser, every event, and every generous act helps us continue showing up for kids across Oklahoma.

Thank you for helping us foster more hope.

This precious 4-month-old from the Durant area came to Fostering Hope with her siblings in need of emergency support.

We were able to prepare emergency Bags of Hope for each of them, filled with essentials, care, and a reminder that they are not alone.

Moments like this are why we do what we do. When children arrive with immediate needs, your support helps us respond quickly and compassionately.

Every bag matters. Every child matters.
