Giving Kids Hope Foundation, Inc.

Giving  Kids Hope Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on improving and enriching the lives of children living in either individual  foster family homes or group homes, with special emphasis on youth who are aging out of the foster care system. 

The US  Foster Care System currently houses over 422,000 children. Giving Kids Hope Foundation helps those kids living in  group homes and  those living in individual foster families  through our mentoring programs so that they can gain confidence, learn life skills and reach their goals. We also  supplying necessities like linens, personal items, school supplies, baby items, cleaning  supplies, beds, and food to those currently living in foster care as well as those who have recently aged out of the system. 

More than 23000 kids age out of foster care each and every year. After the age of 18, 20% of those that aged out will become homeless and 25% will be incarcerated within two years if aging out. To help those  aging out of the system, GKH offers continued emotional  support and mentoring as well as financial  support. GKH assist  in rental deposits,  utilities deposits, home furnishings and stock kitchen with food.

Being placed in foster care can be traumatizing and stressful. At GKH we believe  we can provide a network for those affected  by foster care, therefore taking away some of that stress. We believe this kind if support  will enable  the kids to one day enter the world with confidence  and become productive  and independent.
