How You Can Help

You can help when misfortune strikes innocent children by your contributions of cash, bequests, life insurance, gift annuities, stocks, valued assets, and various kinds of trusts via "Planned Giving." We provide a place of refuge and healing at Christ's Haven for Children for abused, abandoned, and neglected children.

You can help a hurting child through charitable giving of a Bequest/Will. The Federal Government encourages bequests by allowing an estate tax deduction. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 children's home, therefore all gifts are tax-deductible.

As an individual or as a group, donations of cash, groceries or clothing may be made monthly, quarterly, or annually. There are always special needs, e.g. school supplies, clothes, birthdays, Christmas, graduation, and summer camp. You may consider making a Memorial or an Honorary gift. Paying your respects in this manner permits a double honor via loved ones being recognized and our children in need receiving help. Check out the Donations page for more information on all of our donor programs.
