"1HOPE’s mission is to find foster and forever homes for abused and neglected children where they can be loved, nurtured, and provided with educational opportunities that contribute to their future success. 

Join us and become a Defender. Defenders answer a call from the Lord to serve children in foster care through prayer and recurring monthly donations. 

For $30 a month or more, you can be a 1HOPE Defender and help provide forming helmets, braces and orthodontia, additional therapy, diapers, and medical expenses. Defenders’ gifts also contribute to training and equipping foster parents with the knowledge and skills needed to lovingly parent traumatized children for the glory of God." - 1Hope for Kids

"The New Braunfels Foster Closet is an extension of the ministry of 1HOPE for Kids by being a resource for foster families. The Foster Closet not only serves licensed 1HOPE families but also foster families with other agencies across Central and South Texas. 

When a family receives a new child in their home, it can be a scramble to get clothes, diapers, and other items. Through donations, 1HOPE provides everything from strollers, cribs, and car seats, to formula, clothes, and books to families to care for their new foster children." - New Braunfels Foster Closet
