“The community of Hernando has been instrumental in helping Palmer Home grow our mission and our ability to serve thousands of children and families over the past 126 years,” said Drake Bassett, President and CEO of Palmer Home for Children. “Mudbug Bash allows us to celebrate our community while providing an opportunity for individuals and organizations to give back to Palmer Home’s mission.”
Founded in 1895, Palmer Home for Children provides superior care to vulnerable children through four distinct care settings designed to serve the needs of a child at their point of admission and evolving as the child progresses:
– Campus Care, where children live on the Palmer Home campus in a Christ-centered family atmosphere
– Family Care, which serves infants and incarcerated mothers with the goal of reunification
– Foster Care, where Palmer Home certified foster parents provide a loving two-parent family to children in need
– Transitional Care, which helps young men and women ages 18 to 24 years old navigate adulthood, learn life skills and lead healthy, independent lives
The organization serves each child through Whole Child Initiative, its proprietary, trauma-informed model of care. Palmer Home believes that by helping a child overcome their trauma, they are better equipped to thrive at home, in school, and in community life.
