Become a Hope Raiser!
Help give a child pride and dignity – help fill rooms full of hope!
When children are removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, they often enter foster care with just the clothes on their backs, seldom have a toothbrush, and carry the few belongings they have in a garbage bag. Eckerd Raising Hope’s ROOM OF HOPE is a cheerful room with a store-front appearance filled with clothing, shoes, diapers, hygiene items, duffel bags and much more so that foster children and teens can "shop" for what they need with pride and dignity.
