The Friends of Children has been working since 2002 toward the goal of establishing a local campus of the Florida Baptist Children's Homes in north central Florida. Many individuals and churches in north central Florida have donated much time and money toward this effort but we can always benefit from the help of others. This campus will serve children and families in need in this region so we welcome anyone to make a financial contribution or to help in some other way. |

2010 1K Club for Kids Four of your siblings are going to live in separate homes. Two will be living together in the same home. Imagine again that a new campus of the Florida Baptist Children's Homes were to open near you. If this were true, what a huge difference there could be for you and your siblings. They could all live together in the same house. You may think this is just fiction but it is based on a true situation right here in one of our five-county service areas. Imagine too that you're a parent who is temporarily unable to care for your children and that they must be taken from you to live at a Florida Baptist Children's Homes campus in another city, either Tallahassee or Jacksonville. In order to see your children, you will have to drive to the campus where your children live. But, if there were a local campus in north central Florida, you could visit them without the long drive and could visit them more often while they're living on the campus temporarily. To help make this campus possible and to keep families together, join the 1K Club for Kids and give $1000 to the Friends of Children of North Central Florida in 2010. One thousand individuals giving $1000 each will finish the task and make the dream of a local campus a reality! Make a difference, join the 1K Club for Kids.
