About

*  Your gift is matched, dollar for dollar!  *

Childhood security is love. It’s care. 

It’s family and community –

The people who hold your hand when you’re small. Celebrate you. Console you. Keep you safe.
The people who wait at home for you. Hold you accountable. Coach you. Mentor you. Push you to do better.

Some children don’t have this. 

And when they don’t – they never get over it.


YOU CAN CHANGE THIS.

Pay forward the blessings in your life for a gift of security for someone else.

Someone did it 122 years ago for her – the first child through our doors.

Designate your gift!

group homes – sometimes you can't live at home. We provide group homes for kids who need a safe place to live and learn new skills, manage behaviors, catch up in school, and find hope – ultimately with the goal of returning to family or living on their own.   

foster care – children come into foster care with histories of neglect, trauma, or abuse. Some have been separated from siblings; others have been moved from home to home. Foster homes offer compassion and specialized care as children transition into permanent homes through reunification, kinship care, or adoption.

family preservation – by the time they reach our family preservation team, parents are in crisis. They may be struggling with addiction, mental illness, employment, or housing problems. They’re at risk of losing their children to foster care – or they have, already. We want to keep families together whenever possible, and reunify them when positive change is made. 

education – it starts with preschoolers in early childhood services, and continues through middle and high school with one-on-one teachers in our group homes, all the way to our higher-education assistance program (trade certificate, associate degree, bachelor's degree, even master's degree).
