On an annual basis, Place of Hope is caring for thousands of foster children and youth who have come into care, at no fault of their own, having suffered severe abuse, neglect, abandonment and even human trafficking. 

Place of Hope offers housing and support services designed to end the cycles of abuse, neglect, homelessness, poverty, and human trafficking. We offer support to children, youth, and families in desperate need, and are one of the largest and most diverse residential children and families organizations in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. We strive daily to help our children, youth, and families find true healing and restoration, which leads to healthy, successful lives.

DID YOU KNOW?

• In March 2022 just in Palm Beach County, there were over 1,700 children under DCF supervision due to abuse, neglect, abandonment, homelessness or trafficking.
• Nearly 30,000 children in the state of Florida were  under DCF supervision in March 2022.
• One of the main reasons for removal from a caregiver is drug or alcohol abuse. 
• The national average for graduation for children in foster care is less than 57% and less than 2% of foster children will go on to post secondary education. 
• Last year Place of Hope had 21 graduates, and we are on track again this year for every eligible youth to to graduate high school!

In honor of the children, youth and families we have served and will continue to serve well into the future, make a gift today. Make your gift a lasting gift by setting up a monthly recurring gift. Your gift today creates a lifetime of hope. 

Recently, we received a sibling group who were homeless, living where ever they could find shelter with their parents who were drug addicted. Thankfully, we were able to take in the sibling group keeping them together!

After several weeks in our care, the siblings expressed this is the first time in their lives they felt safe, loved and clean. 

Two of our girls were selected to represent Palm Beach County at the Future Youth Leadership Academy! This is an incredible accomplishment and a testament to their dedication, hard work and perseverance!

Two of our boys are doing so well in school! One of them received the principal's award for academics and behavior!

We took in two new boys over spring break and we spent it with them on new adventures like  hiking and various parks. At Lion Country Safari, we saw bobcat moms and babies, a Great Horned Owl and her babies, alligators and so much more. We also spent a day surfing the rapids at Rapids Water Park. So many great memories were made this Spring Break!

We are turning 21! In just 21 years, we have served over 21,000 children youth and families in Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast. For our birthday this year, we have received an amazing gift: an 11-acre campus in Stuart which will become the Regional Headquarters for our Shade Tree Outreach Program! Our Shade Tree Outreach Program is estimated to serve between 5,000 - 10,000 children and families each year! This is certainly reason to celebrate!

Since opening our doors in 2001 we have kept over 600 sibling groups together, created over 350 forever families through adoption, served hundreds of single moms, moms-to-be and babies, transitioned nearly 200 young adults into healthy adulthood, provided high-quality and comprehensive case management and therapy to nearly 50 human trafficking victims and survivors! 

Our ability to serve our communities neediest and most vulnerable is not possible without the generosity and dedication from our supporters like you. Help us celebrate with one of the ways below!

The Hope Collection is live! Bubs & sass, a local Jupiter jewelry company, has partnered with us to create a special line called "The Hope Collection" inspired by the girls in our care. Owner Alyssa said, “I knew I wanted to share my story and expertise with a group of teenage girls. When I was introduced to Place of Hope it was a no brainer…I found my girls. They were amazing! There was so much talent and enthusiasm in the room that day. I can’t wait to do it again!” She explains after going to Place of Hope and meeting a group of our young ladies. The collection has 14 signature pieces sold throughout May, and 100% of the proceeds will be given back to the non-profit. Shop now at bubsandsass.com.
