Perspectives: Children’s Home Society

perspectives

The Tallahassee outreach of Florida’s Children’s Home Society has been around since 1964.  Since then it’s morphed from primarily an adoption mechanism to a fully-integrated agency caring for infants through teens with a vast array of programs, partnerships and other support mechanisms.  To talk about it are: Kevin Winship, director of program operations; Lindsay Elliott, chair for the upcoming “Wish Upon a Star” fundraiser Oct. 20 at Goodwood Museum and Gardens; Nick Raines, independent living program supervisor; and Rebekah Simmons, whose adopted daughter Christina is one of the “stars” at October’s Goodwood event.
