Hope 1312 Collective
At Hope 1312 Collective, they engage the church and community to enter the story of child welfare by providing tangible hope to children in hard places. Their efforts were launched in 2014 by a small group of community members, social workers, foster parents, youth pastors, and business executives who were tired of seeing kids linger in the foster care system and kids from hard places continue to struggle to find Hope. They wanted to see resources leveraged for meaningful impact, see the church truly be the church, and lives changed through an encounter with Hope. To learn more about who they are and what they do, visit their website at www.hope1312co.org.
