Supporting Families in Need

A portion of proceeds from The Simplified Tent Sale will support the Children's Home Society through the Simplified Social Good program.

Life can be hard, and no child, no family should face the tough times alone. The Children's Home Society believes in the potential of every child and family. They also believe children and families are stronger than the odds stacked against them – and that, together, we can create opportunities that bring brighter futures.

CHS delivers the right services at the right time to help children and families through the most difficult times of their lives. We work to help keep more kids safe at home with their families, giving parents confidence and opportunities to build upon their strengths, empowering them to raise their children in healthy, nurturing homes.
