We Make a Difference
What We Do
We Serve primarily children referred by the foster care & juvenile justice systems,
private parties, counseling networks, churches & schools.
Ages 6 through 17 for basic care services
Ages 18 through 22 for Independent Living
Our Community is at the heart of Girls’ Haven. From the beginning a product
of this community, through our 25 years: you have poured in your time, heart,
gifts, and funds.
Our Funding comes primarily through community donations and grants; only 33%
of our funding comes from the state.
Your Gifts Allow Us to Fight for Our Kids, giving them much more than food and shelter.
Our Success shows itself over time:
In the Short Term as our kids realize their own worth and the value of others, they become leaders in their areas of influence and a blessing to the world around them
In the Long Term as they form their own families and carry the values and truths
they’ve learned at Girls’ Haven into adulthood, creating generational change
We Are Grateful as we look to the future knowing we can continue to trust you, our community, to include us in your story
