Friends Asylum for Colored Orphans, St. Paul and Charity streets, Richmond, Virginia
Description
An account of the resource
<a href="https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/brooks-lucy-goode-1818-1900/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lucy Goode Brooks</a> (1818–1900) and members of the Ladies Sewing Circle for Charitable Work established the Friends Asylum for Colored Orphans in 1871. These formerly enslaved women enlisted the support of the Cedar Creek Meeting Society of Friends (Quakers) to found a home for orphaned and abandoned African-American children. Brooks’s activism came from her experience losing one of her children, who was sold before the Civil War. <br /><br />The Friends Asylum opened an orphanage at St. Paul and Charity streets in Jackson Ward. Today, the organization is known as FRIENDS Association for Children. It provides childcare, enrichment programs, support and educational services to low-income families.

Jewish Children’s Home Tell-A-Vision
Description
An account of the resource
Details from a brochure, Jewish Children’s Home Tell-A-Vision, highlighting the founding of the Isidore Newman School for the children of the Jewish Children’s Home and of New Orleans. <br /><br />In the 1840s and 1850s a series of yellow fever epidemics in New Orleans brought forth a need for homes for destitute widows and children. During this period, private and religious groups established a number of orphanages and asylums. <br /><br />In 1855 the Jewish community of New Orleans organized the “Jewish Orphans’ Home,” as a part of the Hebrew Benevolent Society, and on March 14, 1855, the state granted a charter to the institution. The original Home was on Chippewah Street, but in 1887 it moved to a new building at 5342 St. Charles Avenue. <br /><br />The name of the organization has changed several times: from April 6, 1880 to February 28, 1905, it was “The Association for the Relief of Jewish Widows & Orphans,” from February 28, 1905, to February 4, 1924, “The Association for the Relief of Jewish Widows & Orphans of New Orleans,” and after February 4, 1924, the “Jewish Children’s Home.” While the legal name remains the Jewish Children’s Home, the organization has operated as the Jewish Children’s Home Service since April 1958.

Little Wanderers’ Advocate.
Description
An account of the resource
The first 16 pages of this item describe the origin, mission statement, constitution, and founding board members of the Union Mission and Home for Little Wanderers. <br /><br />Union Mission & Home for Little Wanderers formed by ten Boston businessmen to care for children orphaned by the Civil War. They were inspired by the Howard Mission of New York. <br /><br /><em>The Little Wanderers' Advocate </em><br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />p.3 "One Word to the Widowed Mother.<br />Do not send your child to the poor-house. We will take and provide a good home for it. You may know where it is placed and be at liberty to write to it or visit it at proper times. We shall deal with your child as if it were our own." <br /><br />p.5 "What we Propose to Do. <br />Take every child of sorrow, of every age, and feed, clothe, instruct, and thus prepare them for homes, where they shall enjoy all the influences of good society, and thus grow up to become useful men and women. <br />In almost every instance we can place a boy into a home where they have no boy, and a girl where they have no girl. <br />Can we do this? <br />For several years past we have been taking children to homes. We have committees over the West, and in the New England and other States, and receive applications for more children than we can possibly furnish. <br />Conditions: We bind no child to any person; there is no slavery in the matter, all is voluntary between the child and the one who takes it, we reserving the right to remove any child who is not properly treated."<br /><br />p.7 "Soldiers' Children<br />The children of those noble men who have fallen during this unholy rebellion, shall be the objects of peculiar care. They shall be doubly welcome. We owe them a debt that the kindest treatment can never pay. They are not in the strict sense of the word objects of charity, but they have claims upon the public that demand our noblest response. Come to the Union Mission and Home for the Little Wanderers, and what we can do to place you in situations where all that society, friendship and love can do for you will be done. And when the Stars and Stripes shall again wave over this entire land, a grateful people will remember that it was the blood of your fathers that puchased liberty to all, the price of our natonal redemption."

Richmond Male Orphan Society, Richmond, Va.
Description
An account of the resource
Boys standing outside the Richmond Male Orphan Society at Amelia and Meadow Streets, Richmond, Va. <br /><br />The Richmond Male Orphan Society began in 1846 when the director of the Female Humane Association was approached by a homeless boy begging for coins. Recognizing the city’s need for a boy’s home, concerned residents formed the Richmond Male Orphan Society in Church Hill. It made various moves and is now located in western Henrico County. <br /><br />The organization’s name has evolved over time to the Richmond Home for Boys and then the Virginia Home for Boys. When it began to house girls in 2004, it was renamed the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls. Among its services are foster care, alternative education, independent living services and psychiatric and medical care. <br />
