Fathers are important
Fathers are vital to children’s health and development as they grow. Hope Unlimited Family Care Center is passionate about supporting expectant or current fathers, stepfathers, and other male guardians as they step fully into their role and raise their children.

- 45% less likely to repeat a grade
- 60% less likely to be suspended or expelled from school
- Twice as likely to go to college and find stable employment after high school
- 75% less likely to have a teen birth
- 80% less likely to spend time in jail
