CHELSEA, AL - King’s Home is a place where compassion resides, where love dwells, and where hope lives.  Woodforest Charitable Foundation’s recent contribution to King’s Home will support their mission of providing a safe, secure and nurturing environment to victims of violence.

King’s Home, formerly known as The King’s Ranch and Hannah Homes, has been home to hundreds of youth, women, and children seeking refuge, hope, and help from difficult circumstances.  The program currently operates 18 therapeutic group homes and independent-living facilities in three counties.  At the Hannah Homes Campus of King’s Home, women and children are offered loving support at a residential, home-like setting.  Hannah Homes provides food, housing, medical expenses, educational support, counseling and childcare.  At the King’s Ranch Campus of King’s Home, youth are provided loving homes, spiritual development, educational assistance and counseling.

Along with the opportunity for spiritual development, King’s Home teaches necessary life skills and provides tangible services to help residents heal from their devastating pasts, break the cycle of abuse, build healthy relationships and become independent, productive members of the community.  “Your gifts are making an enormous impact that will be felt for generations to come as lives are changed and hearts are transformed,” said Lew Burdette, President of King’s Home.  “Woodforest Charitable Foundation is a light in the darkness shining forth to bring hope to those who desperately need it.  We greatly appreciate your support and generosity.”
