Boys and Girls Country is a Christian Home providing children from families in crisis with love and security, a sense of self worth, as well as opportunities to live a successful life. In addition to the 88 children who live on campus, Boys and Girls Country supports 60 other young adults who have graduated and continue to participate via the College and Career program.
Like every home, Boys and Girls Country clothes, feeds, educates, loves, and finances the everyday existence of their family of up to 88 children. Their pantries need food, and their closets need clothing and shoes. Volunteers provide financial support for college or trade school, a home during college breaks or summer—most importantly parental guidance all along their journey until they land a first job.

Join the International 501 (c) (3) non profit organization, Women Business Owners, as they help local communities reach out to those serving others in need —our children. By joining forces and providing the basics of food and clothing, you can help lift a very heavy burden from an amazing organization that continues to develop these children into well balanced, educated, caring, and able bodied young adults.
