Harvest Child Care Ministries' mission has always been to help families in need. Harvest is a residential group home licensed to care for children ages 5 to 18. For 19 years we have worked diligently to provide a safe, nurturing home for children whose families find themselves in crisis situations. We also work with the child's family through counseling and education to reunite them as quickly and successfully as possible. Today, our purpose remains the same – to serve children and families in need! With homelessness, a poor economy, and changing tides within the social services system many families may find themselves unable to get the help they need.

Harvest Child Care Ministries is excited to announce a new Scholarship Program that may be useful for some families who may not meet the criteria for traditional placements. If you have children or families who need services, but whom your FAPT / CSA is unable to accommodate, we may be able to help.

The criteria is simple:

•  The child must meet Harvest admission criteria
(IQ of 70, no serious delinquent charges)

•  Non-mandated, parental placements

•  Do not meet mandated service requirements and who have no other funding sources.

•  Sliding Fee Scale will apply based upon the family's ability to pay.

For information or admissions, please contact Newl Dotson, Executive Director at 276-546-4400 or 423-502-4684.
