Fields of Hope Celebrated Open House

May 28, 2021

FIELDS OF HOPE held a Ribbon Cutting on Thursday, May 20th, 2021 on Villmer Road in Old Mines to celebrate the new campground project established for foster children as well as foster families. The ‘campground’ has three tiny houses set up and two campers for lodging. The grounds kick off marked 10 years of service.

Fields of Hope, an area non-profit, has opened a new campground on Villmer Road, just off Highway 21 in Old Mines. The property hosts three tiny houses that have been finished for daily living or weekend enjoyment. The group also has two campers set up at the property along Old Mines Creek as well.

The promotion for ‘Fields of Hope’ is restoring lives, fostering faith, building futures. Part of the program is to provide support for foster children that are ‘aging out’ of foster care. Foster families also will be using the facilities for retreats and family building.

The non-profit offers weeks, weekends, or days for sponsorship to provide support for foster families from the St. Louis and South-central Missouri region.

The County Chamber of Commerce along with several representatives from businesses, churches and a variety of organizations gathered for a ribbon cutting and open house to tour the facilities.

The Fields of Hope complex is located at 10243 Villmer Road. The grounds host a variety of families and friends daily and are ready for an enjoyable and rewarding Summer.
