The CEDARS Home for Children Foundation is geared towards helping children who are victims of abuse, neglect and homelessness, grow in a shelter that embraces them with safety, stability and enduring family relationships. The organization was started in 1947 by the Reverend Charles and Alberta Danner when they opened their doors to the young and homeless.

 

CEDARS continues the legacy of Reverend Danner to build a place for children to “experience real childhood and begin planning for the future”.  The kind gesture of opening doors to helpless children which happened more than 60 years ago lives on with thousands of children being served by CEDARS. Not just limited to providing shelter, CEDARS teach the youth with life skills in order for them to adapt to an ever changing world.

 

Despite the harsh reality of poverty, proliferation of drug use, disease, criminality and neglect, CEDARS provides the bright light of hope to the young who are in need and to their families who struggle to stay.
