Foster care - miracle hill ministries' foster care program is designed to bring hope and healing to children who have been removed from their birth families due to neglect or abuse. We recruit christian foster parents and provide them with support and training throughout licensing, placement, and beyond. We develop genuine relationships with our foster parents, praying with them, counseling them, and providing physical resources as they navigate the often-challenging waters of fostering. We take a trauma-informed approach for equipping and coaching parents. Our licensing specialists, care coordinators, trauma specialist, and educational enrichment coordinator work together to support successful placements. In addition to individual foster homes dispersed throughout upstate sc, miracle hill also has developed a foster home community. This community of seven large homes in pickens county provides a beautiful setting for foster parents and up to 35 foster children to grow and thrive. Our staff provides ongoing oversight and support to ensure each child and family is equipped for success. Last year, we served 351 foster children, providing stability and loving care. Of those, 136 were reunited with their biological families, and 21 were adopted.

Food relief ministry - miracle hill from god to you is a community pantry for food-insecure individuals and families. The warehouse also supplies the food needs of miracle hill's six shelters. A case manager oversees the community food distribution program, providing counseling and referrals for additional resources, such as furniture and clothing, as needed. Last year, the ministry welcomed new community clients, served 6,336 individuals, gave 31,193 boxes of groceries, and distributed 774,305 pounds of food.

Transitional housing - in 1995 miracle hill ministries started providing limited transitional housing for guests exiting our programs. Since then, the need for transitional housing has exponentially grown in the upstate, and we now offer affordable, supportive housing opportunities for all our adult shelters and programs. We have learned that living in community and having healthy mentor relationships results in higher success rates for our guests as they transition to independence. To be eligible for our transitional housing, the applicant must have successfully completed the new life program in one of our shelters or have graduated from one of our recovery programs. They must also be employed or ready to enter the workforce, remain clean and sober, and continue in close contact with a volunteer mentor. We currently operate 20 transition locations with a capacity to house 131 individuals, providing 88 beds for men, 37 beds for women, and 6 beds for women with children.
