Every child deserves safety and love. If you or someone you know suspects abuse, report it here.

For 175 years, St. Joseph Children’s Home has stood as a beacon of hope for Kentucky’s most vulnerable children. Since our founding in 1849, we have provided safety, stability, and healing to over 75,000 children who have endured unimaginable trauma. Kentucky ranks among the highest in the nation for child abuse and neglect. Many of the children we serve have endured severe trauma, leading to profound emotional, physical, and developmental challenges. Through our Residential Treatment program, Therapeutic Foster Care and Adoption services, Behavioral Health Outpatient programs, and Child Development Center, we are transforming lives.

With your support, we can:

  • Enhance access to mental health and therapeutic services for children coping with trauma.
  • Improve our facilities to provide safe, welcoming spaces for healing and growth.
  • Expand community outreach efforts to connect families with the resources they need.
  • Develop programs that promote resilience, self-confidence, and long-term success for every child we serve.

A charitable gift to St. Joe’s is more than a contribution — it’s a commitment to creating a future where every child can thrive. Together, we can ensure that no child is left without the safety, care, and hope they deserve. Thank you for considering a donation that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our St. Joe’s kids. We are grateful for your support.
