Benjamin’s Hope was founded on the belief that every person should have a community and place they call home where they can feel valued and cared for. As an adult foster care nonprofit organization, we provide a person-centered approach through the way we care for our residents and create meaningful work for our employees. Our “Live, Learn, Play, Worship” model inspires our staff and residents to grow closer in a faith community by experiencing the joy of doing life together. We have 6 independently licensed homes located on our beautiful, 52-acre campus in Holland, MI, where our residents and employees are able to enjoy the beauty of nature in a large space.
