Strengthening families to care for children and caring for children when families cannot.
Times have changed in our 100 years of existence, and so has our ministry. Few of the children we now serve are true orphans; instead, most are victims of neglect and physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse. As a result, we have expanded our ministry to provide a continuum of services that includes counseling, preschool, foster care placement, short-term residential arrangements and many others
