Live 2 Give Hope

Providing Hope to Individuals throughout Missouri now, for the future, and for eternity.

Foster Families Deserve To Be Celebrated!

May is National Foster Care Month, and Live 2 Give Hope wants to recognize local families for their dedication, sacrifice, and love to vulnerable children across the region.

Hundreds of families throughout Central and Southwest Missouri care for thousands of vulnerable foster or former foster youth each year. Live 2 Give Hope is proud to support these families and want to champion their efforts to the Community!

Do you know any foster, kinship, guardianship, or adoptive parents across Central and Southwest Missouri whose efforts and care have helped kids or families to have a brighter future?

Four families will be selected and celebrated throughout the month of May and lavished with gifts including a massage from Well To Do Somatic Therapy Clinic.
