Trinity Children and
Family Services:
(TCFS) is a not-for-profit, multi-service agency serving
the needs of children requiring out-of-home placement
through residential/treatment and foster family programs.
We opened our doors in 1966 to six boys and since that
time we have had only one mission: to help children
heal who have been damaged by abuse, neglect, or abandonment
and return to society and family. The children can then
begin to reclaim their right to pursue successful and
fulfilling lives. In the ensuing years more than 35,000
children have found inside the open doors of a TCFS
home safe, healing, and caring environments, where they
are valued, regardless of their race, creed, or cultural
background.
