Lisa Hoeve is the CEO and Founder of Hope Pkgs, a nonprofit organization that provides “first night bags" full of necessities for kids entering the foster care system. Lisa, a dedicated advocate for children in foster care and a compassionate mother of six children, has been fostering children with her husband since 2013, providing a loving and safe environment to more than 18 children in need of a place to call home.
In learning that too many children enter foster care with absolutely nothing, Lisa found Hope Pkgs to ignite change. Since its inception in 2015, Hope Pkgs has supplied over 7,000 "First Night Bags" containing essential items such as new pajamas, socks, underwear, and toiletries. Currently, Hope Pkgs serves more than 70 of 83 counties in Michigan.
Through her nonprofit work, Lisa has been recognized by the DAR Women in History Award (2023), Fox17 Pay it Forward Award, National Association of Realtors Good Neighbor Award and The Harold F. Schmidt Humanitarian Award. Lisa's greatest goal is to educate society about the needs of children in foster care and the importance of supporting them.
