| Your Gift REACHES Into Lives – Your Support Gives CHILDREN Hope
The staff and supporters of Children’s Foundation of Mid-America never sit still.
The idea started with a simple loving children’s home in Farmington, Missouri in 1914. Presbyterian’s met Scripture’s mandate to watch over the fatherless and the motherless. Over the years, the need has grown. Instead of standing idly by and watching more and more children go without care, the organization has intentionally grown with well-designed facilities and programs to meet the need. The last decades have seen new expansion into the realm of preventive care with family mentoring and other efforts designed to keep children in their homes. When you support the Children’s Foundation of Mid-America, your gifts are saving and improving lives through the organizations listed here. |

Foundations
Hannibal sits in the middle of some of poorest Missouri ‘s counties. The financial stresses placed on the families who reside there have resulted in the need for good family counseling. The goal of the Foundations program, based in Hannibal, is to keep children in their homes. Timing is crucial. If family mentors can intervene in the lives of troubled youth and parents, often they can prevent additional abuse and problems. For children who have already been displaced, Foundations workers pave the way for re-entry and a fresh start. All efforts are designed to heal the family and construct a healthy foundation for the future.
