Homes Of Peace & Encouragement (HOPE) exists to support children and strengthen families in times of crisis through workshops, family coaching, and even short-term placement of children in host homes throughout the community.2. Communities And Relationships (CARE) exists to create communities where children and families can thrive. Currently, CARE services include Sparks Out Of School and Central Arkansas Youth Camp.Narrative:All of us experience crisis, from financial to medical, personal to relational. Many of us rely on our families or communities in these times of need. Others suffer crisis in isolation, where situations all too easily go from bad to worse.When families with children endure crises on their own, the results are often devastating. Relationships crumble, issues escalate, and hope disappears. In the worst cases, the State steps in, placing children in the whirlwind of foster care. And these "worst cases" occur far too frequently in Arkansas—averaging 11 placements every single day.But what happens when the Church answers the call to care for children and families in crisis? Families find a safety net in the faith-based community that meets them where they are and loves them. They receive compassion, resources, and guidance as they walk through their difficulties, discovering restoration along the way! Glenhaven provides structure and expertise for the Church to fulfill this mission.
