hope begins here.

Since 1895, Cunningham has been a place where hope truly begins. What started as a generous 15-acre gift from Judge Joseph and Mary Cunningham has grown into a 37-acre picturesque campus rooted in compassion, care and a deep commitment to children and families. Today, Cunningham Children’s Home serves more than 953 youth and families each year through residential treatment, special education and community-based services—providing therapeutic support, stability and opportunities for brighter futures.
