HopeTree Family Services

We are honored to have received proclamations from City of Salem - City Hall Mayor Renée Turk and Governor of Virginia Abigail Spanberger, recognizing Foster Care Awareness Month and the ongoing need for foster families across Virginia.

With more than 5,000 children in foster care throughout the Commonwealth, this recognition serves as a reminder that every child deserves a safe, stable, and supportive home.

We are grateful for the foster parents, staff, partners, and supporters who help make that possible every day. Together, we can continue creating hope and brighter futures for children and families.

This week, we’re celebrating the HopeTree Academy Class of 2026! 🎓✨

From special moments before graduation to walking across the stage, we are incredibly proud of all this class has accomplished. Every student’s journey is different, and we’re honored to provide an environment where young people are encouraged, supported, and reminded of their potential every step of the way.

One of our seniors also enjoyed a complimentary graduation limo ride thanks to Melvin Ward. This is a thoughtful tradition that helped make this milestone even more memorable.

To the Class of 2026: Congratulations on this achievement and all the hard work that brought you here. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead for you.
