Miracle Hill Children’ Home continues to be known as a place of refuge for children from birth to age 18. The children’s home was founded in 1958 to care for unwanted, troubled, neglected and abused children who had no place to stay. Of the children we serve, some are born addicted to drugs. Others experience anger and frustration when dealing with issues and problems in their lives. Every day, we offer crisis and long-term care, as well as foster care licensing. In home-style environments with house parents, children in our care receive personal counseling, food, shelter, education, discipline and unconditional love – all within a Christian framework.

Since its beginning as a soup kitchen in 1937, Miracle Hill Greenville Rescue Mission has undergone many changes. Its facilities have expanded to house 160 men and provide emergency shelter for an additional 200 men during extreme weather conditions. It also operates five apartments, which house families in emergency situations. The face of homelessness is constantly changing. It is no longer the face of a 55+ year old drifter. In the last 20 years, the average age of a homeless man has dropped to 35 – meaning there are more 18-25 year olds seeking shelter and addiction recovery than ever before.

Our Mission is to give hope to those without by teaching the life skills necessary to succeed in our society and to create a foundation in Jesus Christ.
