How to Support the Home During Reopening
As we continue to ensure the safety of all residents, teammates, volunteers, donors, and supporters, we are are excited to begin a phased reopening of our main campus! We have creatively adjusted our operations to continue providing high quality care to our children. In addition to recommended health and hygiene guidelines, the Home will continue to evaluate opportunities for community involvement and support.
Thank you for the incredible support you as a community has been to the Home through these trying times. The mission is made possible because of YOU!
Ways to Support the Home During Reopening...
As we have specific material needs, they will be posted here. You can easily ship your items by ordering through Amazon or deliver items to the Home’s main campus or Bridge House location (1389 Ebenezer Road, Rock Hill, SC 29732) between 9am – 5pm. Please call ahead if delivering to ensure we have someone available to assist you (803-372-5981).
We are back in person with tours and speakers! You may be looking to have someone speak to your group about the Home and ways to get involved or interested in coming on campus to see the Home’s mission in action. The opportunity to share our mission with others helps spread the word about the youth we serve and how others can help.
We have posted limited volunteer opportunities and more will be coming soon! Whether you are returning or wanting to join in for the first time, we have ways we can use your help!
Ensuring we have the financial means to respond to the needs of our children during this time is paramount. With shifting priorities for large funders and the personal financial impact experienced by so many since March 2020, the community’s support is vital in making sure our youth receive the best possible care.
All monthly donors who give at $25 or more will receive a copy of our new 50th History book!
Follow us on social media and sign up for email updates! Share our positive posts, resources we find, fun activities for kids, and ways to engage with the Home during this time. We are sharing videos with relevant information about the Home, stories of our supporters and volunteers, and updates about the kids.
How to Support the Home During COVID-19
The safety and health of our teammates, volunteers, donors, supporters and community is vital to providing a safe and nurturing home for the children and youth we serve.

In addition to recommended health and hygiene guidelines, the Home will be taking the following precautionary measures to remain safe and healthy.
At this time and until further notice:
- Guests will not be allowed on campus. Visitors will be limited and must schedule their visit in advance. Volunteers will be permitted on a limited basis. See current volunteer opportunities.
- The Bridge House location will be closed.
- Phone support will be limited, and email will be the best form of communication.
- Additional guidelines and restrictions will be placed around donations of food and supplies (see below).
While we can’t be with you in person, YOU, our community, has always been there to ensure our children are well cared for and have the resources they need. Here are four ways you can best support the Home during this time of caution and physical distancing:
