Always doing better for kids

We owe it to kids to consistently find ways to do it better. So we do.

Research reveals that abuse is generational. So we declared our ambitious goal: to break this tragic cycle in more families. And we have. But we’ve done so much more, too – all because we believe kids, teens and families deserve the very best we can give. Check out what we're doing!

Honorable roots

Caring for kids since 1902

Thousands of children, dirty, malnourished and alone, boarded the Orphan Trains near the turn of the 20^th Century, desperately hoping to find families. Under the leadership of Reverend D.W. Comstock, Children's Home Society of Florida was established in Jacksonville on November 17, 1902. With a staff of two, we found homes for 21 children our initial year, operating with a budget of $400. Less than a decade later, Marcus “Daddy” Fagg became State Superintendent, guiding us toward our unwavering leadership in the child welfare arena. Uncover more of our history.
