Christ's Haven For Children

What Christ's Haven For Children does

Christ's Haven For Children is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1954 and headquartered on a 58-acre campus in Keller, Texas (North Fort Worth area). It operates a trauma-informed, family-model of care for displaced children and teens ages 0–18, placing them in a neighborhood of six 3,000-square-foot homes staffed by full-time houseparents serving 6–8 youth each. The organization also runs a College & Career Readiness Program for young adults ages 18–24, providing housing, transportation, tuition support, and life skills training through three independent living apartments.

The core service portfolio is anchored by the Residential Program and the College & Career Readiness Program, supported by a Family Resource Center, an on-site Food Pantry, a Resale Shop, and facility rentals (gym, chapel, pavilion, boardroom). The Family Resource Center extended services to 312 unduplicated families and 861 food pantry appointments in 2025, while the broader Residential and CCR programs delivered outcome metrics including 100% of high school students maintaining a 2.75+ GPA, 82% enrollment in secondary education among young adults, and 89% of sibling groups living with at least one sibling.

The revenue model is entirely donation-dependent, with no state or federal funding. Income streams include individual giving (with a Circle of Hope recurring giving society), church and foundation grants, planned giving vehicles, a Resale Shop thrift store, facility rentals, and signature fundraising events (Golf Classic, Clay Shoot, Fashion Show & Brunch, Fall Festival). Distribution is regional and direct, serving families primarily in Tarrant County via caseworker referrals, churches, schools, and the Department of Family Services. The organization has 2,069 volunteers contributing 8,056 hours annually and is led by CEO Cassie McQuitty.
