Please help us provide a special Christmas for the youth at Murphy Harpst Children’s Center. We will provide a shopping list soon or you can donate via the button below.


Since its founding by a Methodist missioner in 1924, Murphy-Harpst has provided hope and healing for Georgia’s most vulnerable children. Today, they provide residential treatment, foster care and local group homes that are a safe and nurturing environment where hurting youth can thrive and heal.
