Louisiana United Methodist Children and Family Services, Inc. (LUMCFS) is a non-profit agency dedicated to improving children and families'mental health and overall well-being throughout the state of Louisiana. At our three Children's Home locations, we provide the most comprehensive, intensive care available for children with severe emotional and behavioral needs.

In an area where half of Louisiana's families and children reside, we are expanding our services with a brand new, state-of-the-art Methodist Children's Home of Southeast Louisiana. Here, we have the opportunity to bring much-needed care to children ages 7-14 with a home specially designed to meet their personal, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. The 125-acre site includes a dormitory, cafeteria, therapists’ offices, classrooms, recreation rooms and a 24-hour nursing clinic.

JOIN OUR MISSION

NEW HOME NEW HOPE

Join us in our historic expansion as we establish a new foothold in Southeast Louisiana. We have $8.5 million of the $10 million total we need to finish this beautiful new home. Now is the time to raise the remaining $1,500,000. You can be a part of this inspired vision for improving the lives of thousands of children over the next century.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

  • We need help to raise the remaining funds to complete the construction. 100% of your donation will be earmarked to meet this building goal. This is a unique opportunity to leave a legacy for Louisiana children, an opportunity to keep Louisiana philanthropy in Louisiana…. directly impacting Louisiana children.

  • LUMCFS receives no public funding to build this new home. It depends solely on savings, and donations from people just like you, foundations and companies to help pay for this much needed new Methodist Children’s Home. Your donation to our 501C3 non-profit organization is tax deductible.
