What could two years of stable housing mean for a mom and her children?

More time to focus on school, work, and family. More room to plan for the future. And the comfort of knowing there's a safe place to come home to.

Through Secure Dwellings, PHFC helps families build stability as they work toward independent living.

What a beautiful setting for fellowship and sharing our mission!

Presbyterian Home for Children President and CEO Doug Marshall, along with Vice President of People, Culture, and Administration Stephani Burton and Development Director Suzanne Cornett, attended the Presbytery of North Alabama meeting at the beautiful Camp Maranatha.

Doug shared an update on the Home's ministry, including the success of our Robinson Family Unity Center in reuniting mothers with their children, progress on our $1.7 million Journey Capital Campaign to renovate our historic campus, and the outstanding achievements of Ascension Leadership Academy, where four graduates earned a combined $240,000 in college scholarships this year.

We are especially grateful for the pastors and congregations of the Presbytery of North Alabama who faithfully support our mission through their prayers, generosity, and encouragement. Their partnership helps us provide hope, healing, education, and brighter futures for vulnerable children and families.

And what a blessing to gather at Camp Maranatha! The beautiful property provided a peaceful and inspiring setting to reconnect with our Presbyterian family and celebrate the work God is doing through our shared ministry.

Thank you, Presbytery of North Alabama, for your continued friendship and faithful support!

Sometimes, a little support can make a big difference in a family's day.

A safe place to call home. Someone to turn to for guidance. The chance to focus on building a better life for your children.

Your generosity helps PHFC continue being there for moms and children when they need it most.

Thank you for being part of that support.

PHFC has the best board members! Our board members do so much more than provide leadership and guidance. They give their time, share their talents and resources, and demonstrate a personal commitment to our mission of helping children, young adults and families build brighter futures.

Their support helps ensure that the children and families we serve have the tools, encouragement and opportunities they need to succeed.

Our Board of Trustees lead by example and put faith into action!

Thank you PHFC Board Members, Amy Hill-Dickerson and Cindy Wilson, for bringing supplies when you came for the PHFC Board Meeting. Contributions really make a difference in our program costs. Thank you for your support of ALA.

We are grateful to The Daily Home for sharing the inspiring story of Logan, a Presbyterian Home for Children alumnus who has joined the Air National Guard and is pursuing his dream of a career in aerospace engineering!

Logan's journey is also a story of family, perseverance and new beginnings. His mother, Bizzy, came to Presbyterian Home for Children at a time when she and her family needed support and stability. With a safe place to rebuild and opportunities to move forward, Bizzy worked toward a brighter future for herself and her son.

Today, she couldn't be prouder of Logan for achieving his goal of joining the Air National Guard and is excited about the opportunities ahead of him.

This is why our mission matters. When we help mothers and children find stability, hope and opportunity, the impact can last for generations.

Thank you to The Daily Home for shining a spotlight on Logan's accomplishments and sharing a story that reflects the lasting difference a helping hand can make.

We are so proud of Logan and Bizzy and can't wait to see what the future holds! 💙

Presbyterian Home for Children CEO Doug Marshall and Director of Development Suzanne Cornett enjoyed sharing an update on the latest activities and ministries at the Home with our longtime friends at First Presbyterian Church of Talladega.

Our relationship with this special congregation stretches back generations. For decades, church members have welcomed children and families from the Home into worship, served on our Board of Trustees, and maintained deep family and personal connections with our ministry and its leaders.

Today, that faithful partnership continues. First Presbyterian is home to our Ascension Leadership Academy, and the church's minister, Rev. Leeann Scarbrough, also serves as the Home's Director of Spiritual Life.

We are deeply grateful for a congregation that has walked alongside Presbyterian Home for Children through generations of change, growth, and service. Their commitment is a beautiful reminder that our ministry is built on relationships rooted in faith, love, and a shared calling to serve children and families.

Thank you, First Presbyterian Talladega, for being such an important part of our history, our present, and our future!
