Kids entering foster care often have only the clothes on their backs, seldom have a toothbrush, and carry the few belongings they have in a trash bag. But there’s hope for these children in need.
Eckerd Connects’ Raising Hope’s mission is to provide children and families with emergency and transitional needs 24/7, while promoting their well-being and preserving their dignity. To support this mission, Raising Hope is recruiting Hope Raisers – community partners and volunteers who can help!
Foster and homeless children need YOU! Everyone can do something!
Your monetary donation will ensure the shelves are stocked with clothes, shoes, hygiene items and school supplies when the next child enters a Room of Hope.
DONATE NOWCorporate, group and individual sponsors are needed to keep the Rooms of Hope operating 24/7 for kids in need.
Instead of birthday gifts this year, ask your family and friends to donate to Eckerd Raising Hope on your behalf. Contact us and we will set you up with your own personal collection page.
CONTACT USHope Raisers can volunteer in a Room of Hope, host a fundraiser, organize a donation drive and make many other valuable contributions. Individual, corporate and group volunteer opportunities available.
