Expressions of Hope
What We Do:
We are dedicated to serving and supporting the foster care community in Napa County, by providing backpacks filled with personal items, clothing, and shoes. We offer kids experiences to help normalize their uprooted lives, and we help meet the emotional needs of Resource Families through support groups, mentoring, and activities.
Napa County has limited foster homes so unfortunately 50% of kids that go into care are sent out of our county. EOH helps with recruiting new homes and retaining ones we have. Not everyone feels equipped to be a foster parent, so we provide other ways for you to help.
Our Resource Center is filled with gently used clothing, and shoes, baby items, beds, and dressers to give to families, and the space for support group meetings and trainings. The Foster Kids Fund provides funding for kids to participate in activities like music or art lessons, sports and camps; the Fund also provides needed items like computers, bikes and sports equipment. We plan activities to build community among the Resource Families, and we provide perks throughout the year to encourage and support our families caring for and loving the kids in care
