We empower at-risk youth with a safe place to learn, grow, & discover their potential.
Here, students receive support that goes beyond the classroom—online learning access, food assistance, ride assistance, and guidance from caring community leaders who walk with them every step of the way. At its heart, this is a faith-centered program committed to building character, confidence, and hope in every young person who comes through our doors.
Invest in their future. Invest in our youth.

Events
Christmas Toy Extravaganza
***Sorry, Registration is Closed. However, registration does not guarantee gifts. All toy distribution will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the event. Arriving early is encouraged to ensure availability.
CCF Hope Foundation, Kids Opportunities To Succeed (KOPPS), Jayden's Closet, and Charisma's Heart's Toy Give Back initiative embody the spirit of the season by bringing joy and relief to families who might otherwise struggle during Christmas. Focused on supporting children and parents in need, this program extends beyond just providing toys. By including baby essentials, such as diapers, formula, and clothing, we ensure that even the youngest members of the community are cared for.
The initiative is a heartfelt response to the challenges many families face during the holidays, fostering a sense of hope and belonging. For parents, it alleviates financial burdens and offers reassurance that their children will experience the magic of Christmas. For kids, it’s a reminder that they are valued and loved.
Our dedication to giving back not only addresses immediate needs but also strengthens the bond between the community and those who serve it, creating a brighter, more compassionate holiday season for all.
