In 1968, Philia Club of San Angelo recognized the need for a place to care for teenaged girls that could not live with their birth families. They soon enlisted other clubs, churches, businesses, and individuals in a cooperative effort that led to the creation of our agency. In the years that have followed, the on-going support of our Concho Valley community has made possible our continued operation and enabled us to widen our range of service to offer emergency care for children of all ages and help to ex-foster kids setting out on life on their own. Our organization is very much a community agency.
