Grandparents’ Club




Grandparents have a special way of loving their grandchildren unconditionally. The Grandparents’ Club of Grandfather Home for Children plays this role in the lives of the children under our care. The Grandparents’ Club is comprised of many individual chapters that raise funds to be used specifically for the children’s needs and special opportunities - similar to what many grandparents do!

Through the financial support of Grandparents’ Club, our children can participate in school field trips, special activities like camps, dance/music lessons, and family vacation trips. One of the special ways the Grandparents’ Club can also help enrich a child’s life is by covering a special medical need that may not be covered by Medicaid, like braces or contact lenses. Without this special club, our children would be unable to have the expressions of love that help create a much happier and memorable childhood.

You are invited find out more about joining an existing Grandparents’ Club chapter or starting a new chapter! Please contact Erin Carter, Director of Development.
