Our Charity Partner Since 2021!

We decided to use our unique resources to help bring Holiday Spirit to those that may not get to experience the joys of the season that many of us take for granted. We couldn't think of anybody in more need of Christmas Spirit than the foster children in the care of the Hope Center for Children. 

"The mission of Hope Center for Children (HCFC) is to build stable, healthy families and to provide children a safe place from abuse and neglect. HCFC is the result of a 2013 merger between two organizations with histories of providing residential care for children in foster care, The Ellen Hines Smith Girls’ Home and the Children’s Shelter of the Upstate. These two strong organizations merged to form Hope Center for Children, resulting in a pooling of resources to provide a wider continuum of services for children and families in Spartanburg and the surrounding areas. This name captures the heart of each program: providing hope to children and families. Since the merger, HCFC has continued to expand services, and today six cohesive programs fulfill the mission. All six programs use evidence-based and/or evidence-informed models, yielding outstanding annual outcomes." --  About Us | Hope Center For Children (HCFC) | Spartanburg, SC (hopecfc.org)
