Providing Homes, Healing and Hope

Since 1890

For more than 135 years, we have stood in the gap for children in need. Today, that commitment is stronger than ever. Across Alabama and Northwest Florida, we provide safe homes, compassionate care and lasting hope for children, youth and young adults who can no longer remain with their families due to neglect, abuse or abandonment.

While children are at the heart of everything we do, we also support families facing hardship by helping them address harmful patterns, build stability and move toward healing and restoration. Through our services, we create opportunities for both children youth, young adults and families to thrive.
