impact today
When you choose to give, you become part of something bigger—something powerful.
At Stoddard County Children’s Home, we provide more than shelter. We offer stability, safety, and love to children who need it most. Like any household, we have everyday expenses such as utilities, groceries, fuel, and upkeep. But we also carry the added weight of around-the-clock staffing and the resources necessary to create a safe and nurturing home environment for children with varying needs.
While the State of Missouri provides a modest daily stipend per child, that support only covers about half of our annual expenses. The rest? It comes from people like you.
