Supporters Like You Make All the Difference
“DePelchin means the world to me. When I first started this I had no idea what I was getting into…I don’t think I could have made it through the almost two and a half years of fostering without DePelchin.”
– Cheryle Lerch, DePelchin Foster to Adopt Parent
We mean it when we say that without supporters like you, none of our work is possible.
That’s why we have created this website to help you follow your impact with DePelchin Children’s Center and learn more about how to partner with us to support and sustain children and the families who care for them.
How You Support Our Work

DePelchin provides supportive residential programs for youth who have aged out of the foster system, including homeless young adults and pregnant or parenting teens.
Counseling
DePelchin offers high-quality counseling services to strengthen and support the mental health of children and their families.
Parenting Classes
DePelchin delivers programs that help equip parents with skills to maintain loving, caring homes for their children.
Kinship Care
DePelchin guides kinship caregivers through the process of becoming foster families, helping children stay connected to family or fictive kin when they cannot live with their birth parents.
