"I'm often asked how we know our services really work. The answer is simple. Many come back as adults to thank us and some even return as employees or serve on our Board of Directors. They want to help today's kids the same way they were helped - It's their way of giving back."

~ David Ballard, CEO

Founded in 1944, CRH provides a refuge of comfort, hope and healing to over 1,200 children and families each year. It is not one individual program that makes us successful, but the combination of all services that make our care to children and families complete.

In addition to 24-hour residential and shelter care, CRH provides comprehensive assessments, medical assistance, counseling and social-work services, on-site and community based mental health programs, an independent living program for emancipating teens, a multi grade on-site public school, activities, recreation and a child/family visitation center. The impact that we make in the lives of the people we serve is only made possible through the generosity of the community!
