We've got some things brewing for 2021, so keep coming back for some great news. First we wanted to thank to Lily's Lights for supporting Agape Villages. Lily's Lights makes beautiful handcrafted night lights and are choosing to donate one night light to Agape Villages for every night light they sell through March. Agape will be able to provide these night lights to our kids in foster care. Thank you Lily's Lights! http://www.lilyslights.com

We hope you enjoy 2021 with a fresh start! Happy New Year!

Thank you Bank of Stockton! Your gifts will be distributed to our kids in foster care at the annual christmas parties we hold. To keep things safe, we've changed things up so our christmas parties are drive through style. The kids will get to see Santa and Mrs. Claus, eat pizza, soda, cookies, and candy, and get some fun items, including these presents.

Last call for your support to our Giving Tuesday campaign! We're raising money to open up more resource homes so kids like Jacob who enter foster care have a place to go. If you make your gift a recurring one, you can help kids all year-round. Remember, your gift is doubled up to $50,000 thanks to several generous donors. Thank you! https://agapevillages.org/giving-tuesday/#gt-donate

It's not too late to give your gift to support our Giving Tuesday campaign of $20,000 to help certify 8 resource families. That will give 8 more homes for kids in foster care that don't have a place to go. Even better, your gift of any amount will be matched by several generous donors UP TO $50,000! Thank you! https://agapevillages.org/giving-tuesday/

We need your help to fund our efforts to certify 8 resource families today! It takes $2,500 to find, train and certify 1 resource family, but your gift of any amount is important. Even better, if you can make your gift recurring, it can help put kids into a resource home all year round. https://agapevillages.org/giving-tuesday/#gt-donate

Today is Giving Tuesday. Help kids like Jacob, who are in foster care without a home. We need more resource families, but it costs $2,500 to find, train and certify one resource family. Our goal today is to raise $20,000, enough to certify 8 resource families. They will be able to help take at least 8 kids like Jacob into their homes.
