How You Can Help

We can’t do it without you….

This year marks the ruby anniversary of our agency—-four decades of service to young people.  The future of our children, we believe, is the future of our community, and we are proud of our contribution to the success of both.

 

We’re making plans for a celebration of this landmark on June 29, and hope to see you there.  In the meantime, we’d like to share with you some of our memories of a memorable 40 years.

There’s no place like home…

       

1973-2013

 

 

 

Like most families, we remember the big stuff , of course—our grand openings, our big fundraisers, our various crises survived. 

 

But perhaps more important are our memories of the everyday life of the children we’ve served.  When they arrive, most have experienced far too much drama in their lives.  Finding an ordinary life here, with its daily routine of  school and home duties,  birthdays and proms and chores and holidays, allows them to heal and grow.

History and Mission
Text Box: The first residents of the Girls Home lived at McCaw Home, a big old house named for donors Drs. Bill and Blanche McCaw. Haby Home was added in 1978, and Tucker Home—the first to be designed and built as a group home—in 1993. Then, in 2000, McCaw Home was consumed by fire. No girls were at the home at the time, because it was spring break. In the wake of the disaster, the Board decided to build a single modern residence to replace both old homes , along with a modern administrative complex, which also houses our Transition Center for ex-foster care kids.

The Children’s Emergency Shelter was founded in 1978 and became part of our agency in 1996.  It

Is some distance from the other facilities.
