Welcome to the Give Hope RV

only ONE registration per household

not per email address.

:: Qualifications ::

You must be an active foster family with an open license. You are not required to have foster children in your home.

If you are an adoptive family your adopted child(ren) must still live in the home with you.

Our goal for the families that stay with us is that they will find rest and connection with those in their family. This place is designed to give active foster and adoptive families, that don’t otherwise have the opportunity, a place to get away and reconnect. Your stay at the Give Hope RV is completely free and made possible by generous donors. If you would like to become a donor please click here.

Registration does not guarantee you a spot during this season. All registrations must be submitted by March 1, 2025. All spaces this season, as in years past, will be filled by lottery. We will begin to notify families of their acceptance mid-March 2025.

A full list of supplies will be emailed to you upon your acceptance.

You do NOT select your location at this time. If/when your families name is selected from the lottery that is when you select your location and date.

Make sure the email address entered is one you check regularly. We encourage you to put our email address in your contacts - givehoperv@gmail.com. This will ensure that you see and receive your acceptance email in mid-March.
