Foster care & Adoption Ministry

Hope’s first 2023 Summer Fun Night is games in the yard! FAM’s Annual Lemonade Stand to benefit Foster Village (a local non profit that meets tangible needs for Austin Foster Families) will be there too. Games start at 6pm but the lemonade stand will be ready by 5pm.

Beyond lemonade, FAM will be selling snacks & boxed sandwich dinners to fuel your best yard game performance.

Want to help out with running the lemonade stand? Contact Mandy Ryniker

Contact Wes Neely with questions regarding the games!

FAM is hosting an evening with dinner and childcare in order to hear from you. We want to know how God is moving and what you feel He may be calling you to. We also want to share with you some upcoming classes and plans for FAM. 

Do you feel a call to serve families in our community in crisis and help prevent them from entering the foster care system? Are you contemplating foster care or adoption any time in the future? Are you looking for ways to engage that are lower commitment than signing up for foster care? Do you have no idea how you may fit in but for some reason feel drawn towards FAM? 

Come join us for dinner and conversation as we explore upcoming ways FAM plans to engage with the Austin community and at Hope Chapel in the coming year. You’ll hear from us, and we want to hear from you. Join us!

On April 26th FAM will serve local Grandparents involved in kinship care raising their grandchildren.

Every month, an Austin nonprofit, Fostering Hope provides lunch for the local chapter of Texas Grandparents Raising Grandkids.

Hope Chapel partners with Fostering Hope and will provide and serve the grandparents attending the meeting on April 26th.

This is an opportunity to tangibly bless and serve those involved in orphan care.

On March 31 in the evening, FAM will host a men’s night for FAM Dads/Caregivers and those that want to support them.

Held at Hope Chapel Member’s home this evening will include conversation, pickle ball, & if anything like last year, a lot of BBQ.
