Christ’s Haven: Normalcy, Dignity, Hope

Learn more about Christ's Haven

Christ’s Haven For Children is a nonprofit organization centered around the core values of normalcy, dignity, and hope. We provide a trauma-informed, family model of care for displaced children, teens, and young adults.

As a voluntary placement organization, we are an option outside of traditional foster care, often when a caregiver has exhausted all efforts to care for a child. Whether a child is with us for six months or sixteen years, we utilize that time loving them as our own and instilling normalcy, dignity, and hope into their lives.

Thank you for your support and generosity helping provide Christ’s Haven’s trauma-informed, family model of care for children, teens, and young adults now and for years to come.
