Calvary Children’s Home, Powder Springs, GA

http://www.calvarykids.org

A not for profit home for children whose parents are either unable to care for them or have died. Founded by Rev. Ben F. Turner, he said. "If children can't have the love and guidance of parents, they should at least be able to live together as brothers and sisters. If I could build a home large enough, I could keep all the children of one family together." This was the motivation behind the building of Calvary Children's Home.
