The Home for Little Wanderers is deeply appreciative of your interest in supporting our children and families as we weather this unprecedented situation together. The health of our youth, families, and workforce is of the utmost importance and we are taking every precaution in accordance with recommendations from public health officials.
Our programs and services continue to operate providing the critical services our youth and families need during this crisis. As this pandemic is wearing on, the need for our services has become even more apparent, as well, new needs are emerging related to the crisis. As we have always done throughout our 220-year history, we are responding and adapting to the current climate to ensure our children and families receive the uninterrupted care they depend on.
