Palmer Home
for Children is a ministry to children in need.....children who are
growing up as social orphans without the nurture and support of a loving
family.....children who need a place to be and to become.
Palmer, for more than 100 years, has provided a
stable, Christ-centered home life built on loving one-to-one relationships.
Founded in 1895 by Presbyterians and other concerned friends, Palmer
remains committed to helping children achieve their full God-given
potential, however scarred or shattered their family background.
Today, in
Columbus, that founding vision embraces some 80 boys and girls from
birth through college age who live year round in seven attractive cottages
that grace Palmer's grounds.
A few years ago that vision extended our campus near
Hernando Mississippi, a few
miles south of Memphis, TN. We currently have almost 20 boys and
girls in two cottages on our new campus, and look forward to seeing that
grow to over 100 children in 12 cottages.
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11. And
if you’re like most of us, you find it hard to come up with just that
special something. Well, maybe we can help. Why not pay special
tribute to her by giving a donation to Palmer Home in her honor or
memory.
It’s the gift that gives
three times! How so?
Firstly, when an honorarium gift
is given, we will send your mother a beautiful Mother’s Day card
announcing that you have made a gift to Palmer Home in her honor.
Secondly, the card has annual and
perennial wildflower seeds embedded in the handmade paper. She can
plant the card under a thin layer of loose, well drained soil, and
in 1 – 4 weeks she will have some lovely wildflowers that will
remind her of your loving gift each time she looks at them.
And thirdly, your gift will help
support the children of Palmer Home.
If you wish to make a gift in
memory of your mother, we will send you the seeded memorial card so
that you might enjoy the wildflowers as you fondly remember her.
We have had a great response to our
cookbook, A Heritage to Savor. In fact, it was such a success that
we have had to place another order, and they are ready to ship. These
would make a great Mother’s Day gift, birthday gift, or just a simple
little “happy”. Place your order now online by
