Join Us in Making a Lasting Impact

Live 2 Give Hope is making a tangible difference in the lives of children and families across our community—and we can’t do it without you. Monthly donors provide the steady support that keeps our programs going strong and allows us to respond quickly when needs arise.

You can be part of the ongoing work to strengthen families, support vulnerable children, and build a healthier future for our region.

All donations are tax-deductible, and 70% Missouri tax credits are available for qualifying donations.

Together, we can build a stronger, safer, and more hopeful community—one family at a time.

Help Stock the Fostering Hope Closet

The Fostering Hope Closet runs entirely on donations from generous individuals and local businesses—people like you who care deeply about vulnerable children and families in our community.

Every item you give helps ease the burden for a family welcoming a child into their home, offering comfort, dignity, and stability during uncertain times.

Please review the list below to see which items we currently need and accept.

All donations are tax-deductible, and every contribution makes a difference.
