We are dedicated to helping at-risk kids through our foster care program, residential group home for girls and boys.

Our Miriam Home specializes in serving abandoned, abused, delinquent, & neglected female youth. Our HEbron Home specializes in serving abandoned, abused, delinquent, & neglected male youth. Our Comprehensive Foster Care program serves both male and female youth in providing a safe environment to help them become personally and socially responsible. We also offer Foster Parent Training & Licensing.

Open Arms has maintained the responsibility to be selective in its screening process while recruiting potential loving, Christian foster parents.

Last week, our Miriam Home girls enjoyed some simple summer fun. From sharing a picnic at the park, spending a day at the beach, playing basketball, and making memories together. Seeing them laugh, connect, and just be kids is such a blessing.

As we look ahead to the rest of the summer, we have even more fun activities and special outings planned. These experiences do more than provide entertainment. They help create positive memories, build relationships, and give our girls opportunities to grow and heal.

We need your help to make it happen!

❤️ Monetary donations will help cover the cost of special outings and experiences throughout the summer. 👇

🩷 Purchases from our Amazon Wish List will provide games, crafts, activities, and other items the girls can enjoy together at the house. 👇

If you would like to help make this a summer filled with fun, encouragement, and meaningful memories for the Miriam Home girls, please consider donating or shopping from our wish list using the links below.

Our Miriam Home girls are getting ready to create dream boards as they explore their goals, hopes, and dreams for the future. To make this activity possible, we are looking for magazines that the girls can cut apart and use for their boards.

If you have any magazines you no longer need, we would be so grateful for your donation!

Magazines can be dropped off at our office Monday–Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. If those hours don't work for you, send us a message and we'll be happy to arrange another drop off time.

Thank you for helping encourage and inspire the young ladies we serve. ❤️

We are so thankful for every person who chooses to love on these girls!! Even though you may never know their names, hear their stories, or fully see the transformation taking place in their lives, your generosity reminds them they are seen, valued, and deeply loved. And that is something we will never take for granted. 💜

What a blessing this week has been at Open Arms. 💕

Earlier this week, a mother and daughter stopped by with donations for the Miriam Home. The young girl had asked family and friends to donate items for the girls at Miriam in celebration of her birthday. What a sweet and selfless act. Our residents are going to be so blessed because of her kindness and the generosity of everyone who contributed.

Then this morning, our staff arrived at the office to find Mother’s Day goodies waiting for them with candles and sweet notes of encouragement. It was such a thoughtful reminder that there are people who truly care about the individuals we serve and the staff who pour into this ministry every day.

We are so grateful for those who help others feel seen, loved, and valued. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus. ❤️

We are so incredibly grateful for every volunteer who pours into the lives of those we serve. Whether you come for a one-time service project or faithfully show up week after week, you are making a difference.

Recently, one of our Miriam Home girls shared that her favorite day of the week is Bible study day. What a beautiful reminder that sometimes the smallest acts of faithfulness leave the biggest impact. We are so thankful for the incredible volunteers who invest in our girls each week through Bible studies, encouragement, and simply showing up.

From yard work to painting, construction projects to pizza parties, every act of service matters. Every volunteer helps create a place where these girls feel loved, valued, and seen. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus and for making a lasting impact on the lives we serve. ❤️
