Giving Guide: Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Family Services

MISSION

Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Family Services has a mission of sharing Christ’s healing love with children, youth and families. Our children’s home in Monticello has been a safe and loving home for youth since it opened in 1923. Today, we are home to youth, ages 6 to 21, in foster care or boys who have committed misdemeanors. Our vision is to be the model of excellence for transforming and empowering children, youth and families. Our core values are love, trust, family, respect and empowerment. The agency is accredited by the Council on Accreditation.
