Hope and Home
Hope and Home, a Christian non-profit child placement agency with a mission to train, license, and support foster families in Colorado, has support groups meeting monthly along the Front Range. One of these support groups is led by Eric and Kimmie Blakely and meets here at COG. The group currently hosts six families consisting of twenty-five people. They also have three more families in the process of being licensed. Overall, there are 162 homes in the state of Colorado that are licensed.
Hope and Home holds monthly meetings allowing them to discuss cases, stay connected, and fellowship with one another. One of the key ways they support their families is by providing a support group to help train families on how to handle the trauma that the children have been exposed to as well as build a support system that is close by.
There are many ways to support this ministry. Such as providing meals and childcare during their monthly meetings, date night childcare for the foster parents, helping with presents during Christmas or becoming a foster family. If you would like to know more, reach out to
