Mission

Family & Children's Place has supported Louisville area families for more than 140 years. Initially, we provided coal to keep homes warm, food to keep children fed and a facility to shelter families who had none. Over time we evolved to work with families with other needs - helping children and families survive and recover from trauma. At Family & Children’s Place, we believe strong families build thriving communities. That’s why we invest in families, equipping them with the support, tools, and encouragement they need to heal, grow, and succeed. Whether we’re helping parents navigate life’s challenges, providing a community of care for children, or strengthening bonds through education and connection, we’re here to help families build brighter futures —together.
