Gratitude Paves the Way at Palmer Home
At Palmer Home for Children, our mission is to provide trauma-informed foster care that meets the unique needs of children who have experienced hardship. Children in our care receive safe housing, nourishing meals, medical support, academic support, and emotional healing—all made possible through the generosity of donors who believe in our mission.
Financial gifts play a critical role in sustaining these essential services, but there’s another way businesses can make an incredible impact: in-kind support.
More Than Monetary: How Businesses Like Lehman-Roberts Keep Our Mission Moving Forward
Recently, we were blessed by Lehman-Roberts, a company that saw a need and stepped in to meet it—not with a check, but with their hands, equipment, and expertise. They spent a day repairing potholes on our campus roads, ensuring the children who live here have a safer space to walk, bike, and play.
“In-kind gifts and volunteer services help keep our mission moving forward in ways that money alone cannot. While fixing roads might seem like a small act, it’s a powerful example of how businesses can support children in foster care in ways beyond monetary donations,” said Community Engagement Coordinator Anna Bell.
Businesses like Lehman-Roberts help maintain the physical foundation of our campus, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for children. Skilled professionals—electricians, plumbers, landscapers—help us care for our buildings and grounds, reducing costs that would otherwise take funds away from direct care. Church groups, community organizations, and corporate teams provide hands-on service projects that enhance daily life for the children we serve.
The Importance of In-Kind Giving
Trauma-informed foster care is about more than just providing a place to live—it’s about creating an environment where children feel safe, valued, and supported. Every effort, big or small, contributes to that mission. We are deeply grateful for financial donations. These funds allow us to provide:
✔ Medical care for children who may have never seen a doctor or dentist before
✔ Safe, comfortable housing where children can heal and grow
✔ Nutritious meals that fuel their bodies and minds
✔ Counseling and academic support to help them overcome the challenges of their past
However, in-kind gifts are an invaluable way to provide support to children in need of hope and healing.
If your company is looking for a meaningful way to give back, we’d love to connect. Whether it’s donating services, offering expertise, or volunteering time, you have something valuable to offer the children at Palmer Home.
We are so thankful for businesses like Lehman-Roberts, whose generosity paved the way—literally—for brighter futures. If your business wants to partner with us to make a lasting impact, let’s start a conversation. Together, we can create a place where every child feels at home.
