Taking action starts here

At Hope Bridge, we advocate for change in the Ohio foster care system by mobilizing churches into action and equipping communities to serve.

Not everyone is called to be a foster parent, but we are ALL called to do something. Below are some tangible ways that you, your church, and your community can step deeper into impacting the foster care system by caring for vulnerable families alongside the work of Hope Bridge.

How can your church engage with us to support local families in crisis?
