An Evening With a Purpose
“Listen carefully, I [God] am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it?”
Stewards of Hope brings together friends, community partners, churches, and supporters for an evening dedicated to strengthening foster and adoptive families.
Enjoy passed and stationed appetizers, drinks, meaningful conversation, and an intimate fireside chat sharing real stories and perspectives from those whose lives have been impacted by foster care and adoption.
It's an opportunity to gather, celebrate what God is doing through One Heart, and discover how each of us can play a part in caring for children and the families who welcome them into their homes.
An Opportunity to Make a Difference
Learn how your generosity can strengthen families and help One Heart continue walking alongside them throughout their journey.
Your Support Goes Beyond One Night
At One Heart Family Ministries, our relationship with families doesn't end when they receive their foster care license—or when an adoption is finalized.
We walk alongside families before licensing, throughout fostering, and beyond adoption.
Funds raised through Stewards of Hope help One Heart provide orientation and foster parent training, continuing education, family support, family events, practical resources through our Foster Closet, and a community of encouragement for foster and adoptive families.
Your generosity helps ensure that families caring for children from hard places have the resources, relationships, and support they need to keep going.
Can't attend but still want to make an impact?
Become a Stewards of Hope Sponsor
Stewards of Hope wouldn't be possible without the generosity of our sponsors.
Businesses, churches, organizations, and individuals can partner with One Heart to help make this special evening possible while investing in support that continues throughout the year.
Your sponsorship helps One Heart equip and encourage foster and adoptive families while demonstrating your commitment to children and families impacted by foster care in our community.
Hope Needs People Willing to Step In.
Not everyone is called to foster or adopt. Everyone can play a part.
Join us at Stewards of Hope and help One Heart Family Ministries continue building a community where foster and adoptive families are equipped, encouraged, and supported for the journey ahead.

“Our family has attended the One Heart Picnic and Christmas Open House every year. The kids love seeing other children that are just like themselves in adopted loving families. Attending these events helps them feel like they belong to a unique club.”— Anne, foster/adopt mom
