Village of Hope CDA

Village of Hope CDA ensures that children entering foster care in the Coeur d'Alene area have the essential items they need — clothing, hygiene products, backpacks, comfort items, and more. No child should enter a new home without the basics. Village of Hope makes sure every child feels cared for from the moment they arrive.

Foster families in North Idaho are connected to a community of encouragement, practical help, and shared experience through Village of Hope CDA. From respite care connections to mentoring relationships and community events, foster families always have a village behind them — reducing isolation and burnout while strengthening their capacity to care.

Village of Hope CDA mobilizes the broader Coeur d'Alene community to serve foster families through hands-on volunteer opportunities. Whether sorting and packing donations, helping at events, providing meals, or offering respite care — every volunteer becomes part of the village that surrounds and supports children and families in foster care.

Village of Hope CDA raises awareness about the needs of foster children and families across North Idaho through community events, partnerships, and outreach. They advocate for more foster families to open their homes and more community members to get involved — because every additional person who says yes makes a real difference for a child waiting for a safe place.
