Kentucky United Methodist Children's Homes (KyUMH)

Offering Hope, One Child at a Time

The Kentucky United Methodist Children's Homes began 153 years ago as a place of safety for homeless widows and orphans after the Civil War. We now serve young people who have experienced abuse, neglect, or trauma. Our mission is to serve Christ by providing for the physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs of children and families. For every child we serve, we know their future families and communities will be better for it.
