Children's Home Society of South Dakota

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.
