Agape Families was founded in 2012 in response to Agape Families was founded in 2012 in response to the estimated 22,000 kids in Oregon that have a parent that is incarcerated. Their mission is to provide hope and stability for these kids and their families through summer camp experiences and family events, programs and training throughout the year. In 2024, Agape partnered with Thrive Housing Network, a nonprofit that owns and operates various housing programs in Eugene for women in difficult situations, to open the Agape Girls House. This newly built duplex in the Ferry Street Bridge area provides young female participants of Agape programs with housing stability, Christian discipleship & community, and practical skills training during their 18-24 month transition to independent adult life. Brighter Days Giving’s grant will enable us to cover the housing and related program costs for one Agape girl in the Agape Girls House for one year. Contact Agape info@agapefamilies.org
In 2023, CAFA launched Safe Families Plus (SF+) in In 2023, CAFA launched Safe Families Plus (SF+) in response to the alarming rise in youth homelessness in Lane County. SF+ serves youth ages 14-24 by providing a gospel-centered network of support of trusted adult mentors and temporary host families designed to prevent youth from experiencing trafficking, substance abuse, incarceration and homelessness. Recruiting these mentors and host families, however, is a challenge. The Brighter Days Giving grant is critical to advancing this church-based expansion of SF+, by funding a focused initiative to equip youth pastors, recruit new volunteers and ensure more youth are safely housed and consistently mentored within a gospel-centered support system. This grant will significantly deepen the Church’s role in prevention, restoration, and care, extending the love of Christ to the young people who need it most.

REBOOT Recovery is a trauma healing ministry that REBOOT Recovery is a trauma healing ministry that provides a small group specialized curriculum for military personnel, first responders, and individuals with unaddressed trauma. It serves individuals in multiple locations across the nation and internationally. REBOOT Recovery’s vision is to become the largest peer-led response to suicide and trauma ever seen through our 12-week, faith-based, and peer-led trauma healing groups. Lane County is currently home to 3 REBOOT locations. Each location is led by a small team of volunteer leaders who are the primary evangelists and disciple makers in their group. Each leader goes through our established Leadership Academy prior to facilitating any courses, which includes outreach, evangelism, group facilitation, and discipleship. The Brighter Days Giving grant will enable us to expand our reach by adding 3 additional new course locations in Lane County, with a focus on rural, underserved populations. It will provide funding to train 12 new volunteer peer-leaders, trained to serve in their own communities, bringing ~195 additional individuals through the 12 week REBOOT trauma healing course, annually.
