No, only if funds are available, or the family can afford to help, do we receive any assistance from them.  We do not charge a tuition for those we serve.

Who do you contact for a placement?

Email or call, asking for the person in charge of placements, and express your need. They will let you know if you may fill out an application for placement for your child in our homes.

What are your needs?

Alpha is 100% privately funded, and there is no tuition charge for those served.  We are always in need of financial support, as well as food, clothing, and toys for the kids.  We also have a list of special needs.

Children find refuge at Alpha due to many circumstances, and include those being raised by grandparents who are no longer able, children who have been abused, neglected, orphaned, homeless, or poor, children needing a safe place to stay during a parent’s military service or deployment, and those with other needs.  Each child’s story is unique.   Alpha provides the children with a loving family and opportunities for healing and growth.  A school learning center promotes excellence and success academically, sometimes for the first time, for each child. 

Usually Alpha nurtures six to ten children with unconditional love and care in each on-site residence at a time, depending on the individual needs of each child involved.

Your Mission Partnership enables children to come to Alpha to find the family and Savior that they need!
