The Lancaster Children’s Home relies on Community Support. It is through this support that we are able to maintain operation of the facilities and provide care to young boys and girls.
We welcome all of the following community support:
Monetary Donations – The Lancaster Children’s Home depends upon donations to continue supporting the children of our community. We rely on monetary donations for approximately one-third of our operating budget to financially support the services provided to neglected children. Donations are used for general care of the children, operating expenses, or designated for a specific project, program or activity. Donations to our restricted funds, or “Endowment” are invested and used in our long-term approach to care for the children.
In-Kind Donations – The Lancaster Children’s Home is delighted to receive new or gently used items that are appropriate for teenage boys or girls. Good quality clothing items are stored in our clothing closet and are dispersed to the children, as needed. Storage space is limited, so we ask that you call ahead. Please see the Donations and Christmas Donations tabs for more information about In-Kind Donations or call April Joplin for current specific needs.
Stock – Stock donations are accepted and placed in our investment account, unless donated to be sold for a particular purpose. All stocks are reviewed yearly by our Financial Committee made up of board members who work in financial fields. Please call us to learn more about how you can designate stock to help support the Home.
Planned Giving – Wills, estates, and bequests are extremely valuable in helping ensure the longevity of our organization and plan for caring for children in need in the future. Please call for a personal visit and/or information on how you can benefit the Lancaster Children’s Home with your planned giving.
Volunteer – Giving of your time can be the most valuable gift you can give to the children in our care. Please refer to the Volunteers tab on the Menu Bar for more information about our Volunteer Program or contact April Joplin for more information.
We are a 501c3 organization. Donations are tax deductible and for your tax records, thank-you letters are mailed designating a specific gift as tax deductible and includes our Tax ID number.
