At the Methodist Children's Home, we provide comprehensive, intensive residential services to children ages 12-17 with emotional and behavioral needs. Just as we turn lemons into lemonade, we believe that faith and community can transform challenges into hope and healing. Every day, we see children bravely embrace opportunities as we guide them towards a brighter future filled with God's love. Your partnership helps Louisiana's children Squeeze the Day! Lace-up your running shoes, and join us in the running toward a brighter future.
