In the early 1980’s a group of community and business leaders came together, recognizing that child abuse was on the rise and something was needed to protect these innocent children and teens. The result was building the Orangewood Children’s Home. Today the Foundation has stayed committed to the mission of providing life-changing programs and one-on-one support for abused and neglected children and at-risk families to end the cycle of child abuse. For over 30 years our focus has been to help foster children survive and thrive, in spite of the challenges that brought them into protective care. We have a particular focus on teens who will soon ‘emancipate’ (age out) of the foster care system, forging the road to young adulthood and independent living, typically without the guidance or support of family. Orangewood Children’s Foundation remains committed to this goal.

Thank you for your generosity.
