A Season of Thanks
A Season of Thanks This season at Palmer Home, we have much to be thankful for. Every day our staff has the opportunity to witness miracles – parents working with us to turn their life around and reunifying with their children, young adults changing their trajectory and being the first in their family to attend […]
A Spirit of Giving
The data is sobering. The number of children who have an incarcerated parent is growing. Many of these parents and children lack access to the support and community needed to maintain healthy family relationships. Others lack the opportunity to meet the physical needs of their children. At Palmer Home, one of our main areas of […]

Sky Lake Construction Helps Palmer Home Raise More than $100k at Mudbug Bash
On Saturday, April 17th, Palmer Home hosted our 17th annual Mudbug Bash, and the party was different than any other from seasons’ past. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Mudbug Bash was an in-person evening event. That traditional format wasn’t possible in 2020, so last year’s event was strictly to-go (imagine a crawfish drive-thru!). This year, our team […]
