Details:
The Thornwell Home for Children in Clinton, South Carolina, has been taking care of children and
youth in need since its founding on October 1, 1875.
With the support of Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations and private donations, the home
nurtures more than 100 children, many of whom suffer from mild to moderate emotional problems
stemming from the death of parent(s); a separation or divorce resulting in a temporary inability to care
for a child; a temporary financial and/or physical inability to care for a child; families experiencing types
of dependency or abuse; and parent's/guardian's disabling health or advanced age. One of the most
successful homes for children of its type, the care of Thornwell's residents is based on sound Christian
principles and a warm, loving cottage atmosphere staffed by Family Teachers dedicated to providing the
finest in Christian development.
