In July, Boys Home received a $10,000 donation toward our facilities campaign. The donation was made by Clifton Forge native, John Grimes. His main objective with the gift was to honor the Boys Home mission and the staff who make it possible. In particular, he wanted to recognize Susie Keller, a current staff member. Boys Home is grateful for this generous gift!

The facilities campaign is ongoing, as essential improvements are needed. These projects are crucial for ensuring the safety and comfort of the young men in our care.
