Where families find strength and children find home.

Some of my most cherished childhood memories revolve around family vacations. We didn’t travel every year, but when we did, those times became unforgettable—not for the destinations, but for the laughter, togetherness, and moments that shaped who I am. Splashing in the pool, feeling the sand between our toes, and sharing simple picnics—these are the memories that truly matter.

I have so much to be thankful for. My earliest memories are filled with family and friends who loved me deeply and believed in my future. Their encouragement shaped who I am—and still guides me today. At Collins Family Ministries, we call people who offer that kind of love and support “Hope Dealers.”

People often ask what we do at Collins Family Ministries. Our mission is to make sure the most vulnerable and neglected children in Oconee County feel loved, safe, and cared for, learn about Christ’s love, and grow into adulthood in a forever family.
