Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Arts & Culture, Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services, Foster Care, Support

Mission: Home Sweet Hope strives to provide domestic resources to support the families and youth in our community involved in the foster care system or that are going through the adoption process. Our organization donates complete room designs, furniture, and installation for children that are in care. We also assist the foster and adoption community by providing new or gently used items on an emergency basis such as beds, cribs, and other home essentials that are generally needed to care for a child. We hope by providing these tangible items as well as holding annual events, we are able to strengthen and support the foster and adoption communities by bringing advocacy and awareness pertaining to the needs of the children and families as they navigate the complexities of foster care and adoption.

I can’t say enough good things about HSH! My 17 year old son was gifted a beautiful room. The volunteers were all so nice and worked hard to give him a new “dope” room. And while they were here working their magic the entire family had a fun filled family day. HSH is such a wonderful organization.

Home Sweet Hope is a remarkable organization that goes above and beyond in making a lasting impact on the lives of foster and adoptive children. As a single foster mom and now adoptive parent, I can attest to the challenges of creating a comfortable and inspiring space for my children, and Home Sweet Hope understands these struggles on a profound level.
From the moment I spoke with, Home Sweet Hope, their commitment to making a difference in the lives of my children was evident. The process began with a thoughtful and compassionate consultation where they took the time to understand the specific needs, preferences, and dreams of the children in my care. This personalized approach sets Home Sweet Hope apart, as they recognize that each child is unique and deserves a space that reflects their individuality.
The transformation itself was nothing short of magical. The team at Home Sweet Hope expertly curated every detail, from the color palette to the furniture and decor, ensuring that the room became a sanctuary for my children. The attention to detail and the quality of the furnishings surpassed my expectations, creating a space that not only met practical needs but also fostered a sense of belonging and security.
Their room makeovers not only create aesthetically pleasing spaces but also contribute to the emotional well-being and happiness of the children they serve. They are making a real difference, one room at a time, and their impact resonates far beyond the walls they decorate.

Home Sweet Hope is so much more than an amazing room for my girls. After a long journey in foster care, my 17 year old can finally say she's home and now has a room customized completely for her to welcome her every day forever. My younger daughter (14) will soon be adopted as well and has been waiting a long time for a room that she can say is hers forever too. As adults, sometimes its easy to take for granted the memories we had in our childhood rooms and how safe that space was and what it was like making it ours. HSH doesn't take it for granted and they put their all into creating these special spaces that can impact these kids sense of belonging for years to come.

Thank you so much for all you do!

Home Sweet Hope is a non profit who's main focus is a ministry to design and provide rooms for foster and adoptive kids. They give 150% of their hearts and time to make these dreams and wishes of these children come to fruition. I have been blessed to help volunteer with them and to see first hand the passion they have for making sure children feel they are loved and cared about as well as knowing someone cares enough to help them with a hand up in their life and to know they are worthy. I am looking forward to continuing to see this organization and ministry grow.

I cannot say enough good things about Home Sweet Hope! Staci is so incredibly talented and her ability to create a custom room for each kid is just amazing. She took inspiration pictures from my 15-year-old daughter and created her dream room. She is so happy with how her room turned out and we are just so grateful! She deserves a space that she can call her own and be proud of and Home Sweet Hope gave her just that. Thank you guys so much!

Home Sweet Hope is truly in it for the children and their families. They use many resources, sponsorships, donations, fund raisers and volunteers to make this ministry fulfill the dreams of many foster and adoptive children who have had nothing of their own. They have input in their designs and feel worthy after many times not having self worth.

Staci the founder and director as well as designer of Home Sweet Hope along with her family has never done this for self gain or personal recognition. It is strictly Christian based and always for others, children and teens, less fortunate to try to begin to help give them a hand up and help their wings to fly. .

Home Sweet Hope listened to our teens and heard their likes and dislikes when it came to their dream bedroom. They really made them feel heard and seen through every interaction. The rooms are designed and put together with such love. We can’t thank them and all of the donors enough!

Home Sweet Hope is an amazing organization to have had the opportunity to volunteer with. Staci is the founder and it is a pleasure to work with her. She is extremely talented and passionate about the work she does to give back to the community and the kids.

I personally have had the opportunity to put the final touches in building a room for these kids and also volunteering during one of the charity event to raise donations and awareness about the non-profit organization.

I have seen the hard work and dedication that goes behind the scenes and it mean a lot to me being able to see the bigger picture and joy in everyone's eyes.

I am a single foster (now also adoptive!) mama who was struggling to figure out how to make room for my two year old and still have room for my newborn placement. I contacted Home Sweet Hope for help and they did so much more than deliver. Staci and her family and crew have joined our village officially. The girls' room looks BEAUTIFUL and my babies are obsessed. Everything is so practical and Staci made sure that my preferences and needs were considered in the design. Since the room remodel, I have adopted my two year old. Staci came to her adoption party and has been so supportive of our little family. They love my babies and they understand what it takes to be a foster parent, because she was one too! I truly believe in providing these kids with space that they can call their own. Space that isn't second hand or used. These kids deserve the entire world and Staci is here to provide a part of that with Home Sweet Hope. Words cannot express how appreciative and grateful I am for Home Sweet Hope and Staci!

Home Sweet Hope partnered with ACDSS to decorate and provide toys for the new community visitation space at the Ann Petree Building. Working with Staci and her team was a wonderful experience, and the outcome was beyond our hopes! No doubt this space will provide a welcoming, home-like environment for our community for years to come!

We were so blessed to have a room make over. The room is now functional and beautiful. Everyone who helped with the room was wonderful including the painters and the wallpaper person. As if the room make over wasn't enough, we were given tickets to take our kids to the children's museum and to lunch while the make over was being done. I can't thank everyone enough for everything they did for us.

Home Sweet Hope truly gives back to the community. We helped design and install a playroom for an amazing foster family. Staci is the founder of this nonprofit and she is the sweetest! Volunteering for this project was absolutely priceless and we would definitely donate our time again. The family’s smiles and excitement were the best part of the day!

We had the pleasure of helping decorate several rooms for a few foster kids through Home Sweet Hope. The level of love, compassion and care behind every foster room donated is awe inspiring, and it tugs the heart strings. Home Sweet Hope turns rooms into homes, and helps adjust stressful, and unknown new foster family environments to warm, comforting situations replete with peace and compassion.
