Children's Home Society is a private, non-profit human service agency established in 1893. Guided by the example of grace in the life of our founder, Elizabeth Hazelton Sherrard, our mission is:
• To provide the essence of Home -- refuge, nourishment, love, and limits -- for children whose homes have been violated;
• To shelter and serve battered women in crisis;
• To educate and counsel children whose special needs require special devotion;
• To serve families who need help in sustaining the essence of Home;
• To share the lessons of our own experience and lift up the wisdom of others.
