Thank you for making
our Christmas magical!

Your gift lasts long
after the decorations come down

Your gift this Christmas means Calvary Home for Children can provide more support to more children throughout the year to come. Our community of foster families have a united mission to provide safe and loving homes for South Carolina children and youth in foster care but we couldn’t do it without you.

Our Core Values

  • Calvary

    Family

    We enrich children’s lives by breaking the generational cycles of abuse and neglect. Our network of foster parents teach through their actions what a healthy and stable family can look like.

  • Calvary

    Honesty and Integrity

    We commit to the highest standards of conduct and ethical practice in all of our endeavors.

  • A desk with colorful pens, a smartphone, and handwritten charts and notes on a sheet of paper. The paper contains pie charts, line graphs, and written notes.

    Excellence

    We proactively examine our performance and strive to improve in a never-ending quest to continually raise our programs to a new level of excellence.

  • Open book with a magnifying glass on top, a potted plant in the background, and a black cord.

    Christ-Centered

    We work to equip children spiritually, emotionally, academically and physically to reach their God-given potential.

“Let this home, Oh Lord, be a safe place for them, a stable shelter in the midst of chaos.”

Lauren & Austin Barrett, one of our campus foster parents, share a prayer that reminds them of their call to be foster parents. They aim to provide stability and love and peace in times of chaos and hurt.

The Need is Great
