American Children's Home DONATE COVID-19 Updates As an essential service, we remain operational. Our facility operates 24/7, 365 days a year. American Children's Home is constantly monitoring the COVID-19 situation and is following guidance from the CDC, DHHS, and the Davidson County Health Department and Emergency Management Services. The health and wellbeing of our children and our staff are foremost on our minds. The needs of the children in our care don't stop during an executive order or stay home order. With the threat of COVID-19, there is an increased need for cleaning supplies and personal protective equipment. With the children out of school, there is an increased need for supplies of all types including school supplies and technology. To support their mental health, there is an increased need for games, both board and video; recreational games/supplies; arts and craft supplies. Our dedicated staff are taking on roles outside of their usual duties: social workers as teachers, development staff as art teachers and activity directors, and admin staff as cleaning crew, shoppers, and support staff. At some point, they may all be tasked with caring for the sick. Your support is more critical now than ever. How to help? Give by check or online. Purchase from our Amazon wishlist.
