The charity
Pendleton Place Children's Shelter
Since its founding in 1975 by the Junior League of Greenville, Pendleton Place Children's Shelter has been filling an important need in the Greenville community by providing a safe, warm place for children and youth who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
Children come to Pendleton Place at all hours of the day and night, 365 days a year, and stay as long as it takes to find the right placement. They are often hungry, dirty, sick, or have injuries that require medical treatment. All are emotionally traumatized and in need of special attention to make them feel safe again. Much more than a roof over their heads, Pendleton Place provides the structure, support, and professional guidance these children so desperately need to begin the healing process.
When you give to Pendleton Place, you not only provide for the basic needs of abused and neglected children, but you help pave the way for a future of hope and promise.
You’ll be glad to know that 95 cents of every dollar goes directly toward programs and services for our children.
Your donation provides the following for children in our care:
- Shelter, Nutritious food, clothing, and basic needs
- Medical care through our on-site pediatrician’s office
- Monthly dental services through the St. Francis Mobile Dental Unit
- Educational support, including tutoring services, educational materials, books, computer software, school supplies, etc.
- Therapeutic counseling services provided through a collaborative effort with the S.C. Department of Mental Health
- Abuse Prevention Education services that teach children how to recognize and report different types of abuse and neglect, as well as how to appropriately handle the emotions that result from being a victim
- Birthday and holiday gifts
- Recreational outings, including summer activity programs
