Palmer Home Campus Care
At Palmer Home, children live on campus in a Christ-centered family atmosphere, grounded in the Whole Child Initiative and designed for extensive support. Stable home environments allow children at Palmer Home to connect with trustworthy caregivers as they grow and develop.
Palmer Home Campus Programs
At Palmer Home, three campus programs provide restorative environments for the children in our care. Learn more about the Hope Grows Garden, the Hope Works program, and the Valero Cattle program.
Hope Grows Here
The Hope Grows Garden is a vibrant space filled with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Here, children and volunteers come together to plant, tend, and harvest crops. The garden provides fresh, nutritious food for the community, promoting healthy eating habits and self-sufficiency. But its benefits extend far beyond physical nourishment.
