Empowering Youth. Restoring Hope.

Every year, young adults across the 757 enter adulthood alone — no family support, no stable housing, no financial guidance, and no consistent health access. Anchored Hope Outreach exists to close that gap.

We provide financial health, mental health, and social stability for youth and young adults — especially those aging out of foster care — so they can build lives that last.

Give today. Their future depends on what we do right now.

Story From The Founder

"When we launched Anchored Hope Outreach, we knew the odds were stacked against youth aging out of foster care. Many face adulthood alone—without housing, guidance, or support. We created this nonprofit so no young person would have to navigate that path without hope, tools, or community.

Every program we run is built from a place of compassion, education, and empowerment. We're not just giving temporary aid—we’re creating permanent change.”

– Bishop Joel Brown
Founder, Anchored Hope Outreach
