“It Takes A Community To Raise A Child”

Dover Children’s Home 8th Annual Bowl-A-Thon A Huge Success!

Approximately 400 community members of the greater Dover area came together Valentines Day and raised over $27,000 for the Dover Children’s Home. This fundraiser is held annually to help raise funds to meet needs not covered by their budget. This event, along with two others held yearly, make up about half of the overall operating budget of the non-profit for a year.

Kingswood Leasing Raises Most Pledges

The “Kingswood Kingpins” were proud to raise the most pledges for the event this year and edge out the reigning 4 time fundraising champions, The Dover Police Charities.

About the Dover Children’s Home

Dover Children’s Home is dedicated to enriching the lives of adolescents and strengthening their family relationships through the highest quality residential treatment services and educational programs. Their commitment to evolving and designing new treatment programs sets the standard for excellence in the field and enable those children facing life’s most difficult challenges with the means to grow and live healthy, productive, and independent lives.

History

Dover Children’s Home was organized to ease the plight of children and families who suffered due to the recessions of the 1890s and has continued to serve the needs of under-privileged children for more than 120 years. During the depression of the 1920s, more than 60 children resided in the Home. In 1939, the state of New Hampshire requested that the Home limit its number of children to 50. This number was subsequently cut to 45 after World War II. Over the years, the Home transformed further to providing intermediate-level residential care, case management, and therapeutic services to vulnerable youth ages newborn-20.

 

Services

Dover Children’s Home is a non-profit, intermediate-level residential treatment program designed to provide a wide array of community-based services for boys and girls, ages newborn-20, who have been abused or neglected or who have committed delinquent acts.
