Black Mountain Home for Children
Black Mountain Home for Children, Youth & Families has been caring for abandoned, abused, neglected, and orphaned children in Western North Carolina for more than a century. Begun by Presbyterian minister Robert Perry Smith in 1904 as Mountain Orphanage, the Home began its ministry taking in Appalachian children whose parents had died or disappeared. Today, the ministry serves youth from birth through college graduation through family foster care, residential care, transitional living, and independent living.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$4.3MModel Ministry Practices
1. We consider our children to be at-promise rather than at-risk. 2. We treat the children entrusted to us the same way we'd want our own children or grandchildren to be treated. 3. We aim to be a model ministry-we want other agencies to look to us for examples of best practices in the industry.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided––Comprehensive Child Services
