Donations
First of all, thank you for your interest in donating to Falcon Children's Home and Family Services!
From a one-time donation, an online memorial gift, to a monthly recurring gift, you can support a child and their care daily, as well as changing their future for a lifetime. FCH uses cash gifts to serve children in our care by providing food and commodities, offering outings for the students, and maintaining cottages and buildings.
Donate through our Amazon Charity link for convenient giving from home or work! Your gift will give the cottages and students exactly what they need and will be delivered directly to FCH. In lieu of COVID-19, this is a safe and easy way to bless our Home without having to come to campus in person.
Save even more on everyday items you purchase online by using Capital One Shopping! This is a free tool that compares prices among various retailers to ensure you are getting the best deal possible while supporting Falcon Children's Home at the same time!
