Mission of the Month - July

METHODIST CHILDREN’S HOME


Although our name has changed through the years and our program of care has adapted to the needs of those we serve, Methodist Children’s Home (MCH) remains true to our mission to equip children, youth and families to flourish by offering hope through Christ-centered relationships, services and support. Founded in 1890, MCH is a nationally accredited, nonprofit childcare ministry that relies on the generosity and support of individuals and churches which empowers all we serve to experience life to the fullest.

Throughout our history, we have been blessed with resources that have enabled us to provide the highest quality of care and facilities for children and youth. Today, MCH serves children and youth through residential programs on the Waco campus and Boys Ranch, and through foster care, transition services and a variety of services in communities throughout Texas and New Mexico.

You can learn more about us by visiting our website at www.mch.org.

    We ask for YOUR help. We need your plastic grocery bags (about 500 every month), volunteers to welcome and register our "neighbors", volunteers to bags groceries and help with getting these bags of food in cars as they drive through the food line.
