Children’s Home at Noah’s Ark

NACCH is a 501©3 orga­ni­za­tion: Tax ID: 58–2052136

PLEASE NOTE:  Thank you for your inter­est in pro­vid­ing items for Christ­mas and through­out the year for the Noah’s Ark Children’s Care Home. We are licensed to pro­vide fos­ter care for up to 24 chil­dren. How­ever, we are get­ting very few state refer­rals at this time, as is true for all basic care res­i­den­tial care homes in Geor­gia. We are doing some respite care and pri­vate refer­rals. Some of the chil­dren are here very tem­porar­ily (maybe a night or a week­end), some may be more long term. Hav­ing said that, we can’t pre­dict how many chil­dren we will be serv­ing at any one time. We may have one child, two, four or a dozen. Our mis­sion remains to help chil­dren in any and every capac­ity that we can. For these rea­sons — we will not pro­vide spe­cific, per­sonal wish lists for chil­dren for Christ­mas, etc. 

Noah’s Ark Chil­dren Care Homes has served a cul­tur­ally diverse group of chil­dren for long-term res­i­den­tial care. Noah’s Ark is located on 250-acres in rural Locust Grove, Geor­gia. It is licensed to pro­vide short and long term res­i­den­tial care to 24 chil­dren. While some chil­dren may stay a night or a week­end, and some may stay for years, his­tor­i­cally the aver­age stay for a child is 18–24 months.

Chil­dren are referred to Noah’s Ark by the Depart­ment of Fam­ily and Children’s Ser­vices (DFCS) or by pri­vate refer­ral. Chil­dren from DFCS remain in the cus­tody of the state and Noah’s Ark works closely with each child’s caseworker.

Noah’s Ark is a home where chil­dren receive uncon­di­tional love, proper nutri­tion, cloth­ing and a sense of fam­ily. Med­ical care and edu­ca­tion are also impor­tant com­po­nents of the care given to the chil­dren, and are pro­vided by sup­port­ive and nur­tur­ing adults.

The phi­los­o­phy at Noah’s Ark Chil­dren Care Homes is unique in that it is tied to Noah’s Ark Ani­mal Reha­bil­i­ta­tion Cen­ter, also located on the grounds. The goal is to bring chil­dren and ani­mals together for the reha­bil­i­ta­tion of both.

A child who has been abused or aban­doned may not be able to relate to care givers, but can find heal­ing in car­ing for and inter-acting with ani­mals. The ani­mals, in turn, receive the love and atten­tion they need to thrive.

Noah’s Ark Chil­dren Care Homes, Inc. is a 501©(3) non-profit orga­ni­za­tion and is sup­ported through dona­tions and per diem state funds.
