The Rio Grande Children’s Home provides a loving Christian home for children and sibling groups in an effort to keep families together. Christian house parents and a committed staff provide emotional, spiritual and educational support that encourages each child to grow their sense of self worth and to discover their special purpose in life.
Our children are very active and involved in the community. They attend public school and local churches and participate in many extracurricular activities, including the 4-H program established through the Carruth 4-H Center on campus. Our on-campus activities director provides the children with a variety of leisure and recreational activities, including sports, arts and crafts and music.
With three family-style cottages, the Rio Grande Children’s Home is available to take care of large sibling groups and small children. Through our home-like atmosphere and Christian commitment, children find the hope and healing they need – and a place to belong.
