  5. Safe Families Host Home Information Dinner

    Join Mandy Ryniker, Foster Adopt Director, on February 28th from 6pm – 7:30pm at Hope (during Family Night) for dinner and great conversation! We’ll explore the topic of becoming a Safe Families Host Home – these singles, roommates or families open their homes to host a child/children for short, predetermined lengths of time (on average 4-6 weeks).
    This short hosting allows caregivers time and space to secure resources for themselves to prevent their children entering fostercare. The goal of host homes is to strengthen vulnerable families in our community and offer the hope of Christ through hospitality and friendship.
    Come learn more and meet our guests the Oberski family, who have been a Safe Families host home since 2016!
    Dinner and childcare provided. Please RSVP to Mandy Ryniker by February 18th.
