On January 21, 1847, a group of Poughkeepsie women met to form the Female Guardian Society to care for the poor, abandoned and neglected in their communities, most especially the children. Their belief was that children deserve a nurturing and caring environment.
More than 160 years later, the underlying mission of the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie is the same: to serve at-risk children and their families in the Hudson River Region.
