Welcome to Building Our Families
Our Mission
Building Our Families empowers families through wraparound, trauma-informed supports that address physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. By building trusting relationships and equipping families with lifelong skills, we strengthen the health and resilience of our entire community.
Building Our Families
At Building Our Families (BOF), we believe every child deserves to grow up in a safe, stable, and nurturing home.
Our programs focuses on strengthening families, preventing crises, and helping parents and children build resilience for the future.
Our BOOST Program provides trauma-informed mentoring and coaching to families referred by trusted partners—such as local law enforcement, healthcare providers, schools, and Grant County Child Protection Services or self-referrals.
A Speck of Hope
A Speck of Hope is not just an organization, but a Community. We are a community who fights for the possibility of freedom through our anxiety and through whatever hinders our Mental Health.
Everybody’s Mental Health exists on a different level, but nobody’s is perfect. To exist is to have a mind, and to have a mind is to have mental health. This makes up who we are and how we exist in our world today.
Rachel's Hope
Here at Rachel’s Hope, we believe that everyone should have access to personal hygiene and household cleaning essentials.
We strive to provide accessible assistance of these essentials to anyone who presents a need, regardless of their life circumstances.
We offer delivery to homes, no questions asked. It's not a special request, it's an option provided to all who seek assistance.
Our Store
Many BOF families struggle with depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges that make it difficult to maintain traditional jobs in the community. Social skills, transportation barriers, and the need for flexible schedules often result in parents cycling through short-term employment without stability.
Our Store creates a bridge:
A supportive, stigma-free environment where families can rebuild confidence while earning income.
The Building Our Families Story
Founded in 2018 through the vision of Carol Weber and Living Word Church, Building Our Families began as a grassroots effort to support local families in crisis. A board of compassionate community members formed to lead the initiative, seeking support from area churches and organizations. Today, our board has grown—and we are actively inviting new members who share our passion for protecting children and strengthening families.

When paired with a BOOST Coach, families receive compassionate, expert support that empowers them to grow—on their own terms—with consistent guidance from trauma-informed adults. This early intervention prevents child welfare involvement and lays a foundation for long-term success.
Why It Matters
Research shows that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can have lasting effects on a child’s mental, emotional, and physical health. According to the CDC, preventing ACEs depends on three key protective factors:
🔹 Safety – Children need to feel secure and protected from harm.
🔹 Stability – Children thrive in consistent, predictable environments.
🔹 Nurturing – Children grow best when their emotional and developmental needs are met with care.
At BOOST, these principles guide everything we do. By fostering safety, stability, and nurturing relationships, we help children and their families build strong foundations for healing, confidence, and resilience.
At Building Our Families, we make it simple to get started we’re here to walk alongside you.
