Hannah's Hope
A ministry serving foster families.
Hannah's Hope Guidelines
A new foster child placement (any location) that brings in paperwork and child, would receive 10 free items of clothing from our main room the first visit. Additional clothing of five free items would be available every 30 days. Parents can use their five points on the child too. (Paperwork only required the first visit with the child.)
A stuffed animal (if age or developmentally appropriate) would also be given to the child for the first visit as well as a “blessing bag” which includes age and size appropriate items such as diapers, wipes, socks, undergarments, toiletries, and blanket.
If available, diapers or pull-ups and wipes are zero points in the pantry - twice a month (every two weeks). These “points” are separate from the clothing points.
Larger items (such as a bouncer) may be available for sale at Standing Stone; however, one free item would be available to newly placed child depending on availability.
Any monetary donation marked for HHFC will be set aside for diapers, wipes, and blessing bags.
