You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to open your heart and provide a safe place. ❤️

One child. One home. One caring adult can make a difference.
Could that be you?

A Safe Place Can Change Everything. ❤️

Every child deserves a safe, stable place to call home. Through Epworth’s Safe Place Initiative, we’re working to recruit more caring adults who are willing to open their hearts—and their homes—to children and youth in need.

You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to make a difference.

🏡 Be the Safe Place. Foster with Epworth.

❤️ We’re More Than Halfway There!

We’re excited to share that we have now raised $2,450 toward our $4,500 Heart of the Matter fundraising goal! 🎉

That means we’re just $2,050 away from reaching our goal—and we need your help to get there!

We’re looking for local businesses willing to sponsor a table for $300. When businesses sponsor tables, it helps make Heart of the Matter accessible to individuals, families and churches who may not be able to purchase a table themselves.

Their support allows others to attend, hear the stories of the children and families we serve, learn more about Epworth, and have the opportunity to make a donation that goes right back into supporting Epworth’s mission. ❤️

Could your business help us fill a table?

If you own a business, work for a company, or know a business that values supporting local children and families, we would love an introduction!

$300 sponsors a table.
8 seats.
One evening.
A lasting impact.

We’re getting closer! Help us reach $4,500 and fill the room for Heart of the Matter!

📩 Message us or contact Julie at Epworth Family Resources to learn more about becoming a Table Sponsor.

Businesses can fill the tables so our community can fill the room. ❤️
