Where We Are

Columbus Campus

On the Columbus Campus we currently care for almost 80 children.  The Columbus campus covers 100 acres and has seven cottages, two administrative buildings, a gym, swimming pool, 12 Greenhouses and several other buildings.  The Columbus campus is home to the Lindamood Building, built in 1898.  It is where Palmer Orphanage began, and still houses our Central Office, Campus administration, Kitchen and Dining Hall.  Click here to go to the Columbus Campus Homepage.

Hernando Campus

On the Hernando Campus we currently care for almost 20 children and look forward to the day when we will care for almost 120 children.  The Hernando campus covers 120 acres and has three brand new cottages.  Two are being used to care for children, and the other currently is being used as the administrative building.  The goal is to have a total of twelve cottages.  We are currently in the middle of construction of a Director's Home,  a Chapel, and Lodge that will house administrative offices and housing for visiting guests.  Click here to go to the Hernando Campus Homepage.

Sheriffs' Boys Ranch-Columbus

The Mississippi Sheriffs' Boys Ranch  is located on 320 acres about 8 miles west of Columbus, Mississippi.  We have moved the boys that were there to the Palmer Home-Columbus Campus so that we can renovate and repair the infrastructure, cottages and other buildings.  When that is done, we plan to use the ranch for our Independent Living program and Alternative program.  The Alternative program would be for boys and girls that are having a difficult time living in our normal cottage family situation and need additional supervision and guidance.  Our desire is to have youth back on the ranch by fall 2005.  Click here to go to the Columbus Campus Homepage.

Palmer Home Thrift Stores

Desoto County

Our Horn Lake store opened in 2004, just south of Memphis, TN and near our Hernando Campus. We have since moved to a larger location at 1200 Main Street West, Southaven, MS.  With the number of possible donors and customers in the Desoto County/Memphis area, this store could grow to be our largest.  Click here to go to the the Thrift Store Homepage and find out more.
