Who We Are

At Cumberland Youth & Family Services, we believe everyone deserves support so they can heal, grow and experience hope. We aim to equip and empower those we serve to thrive. Formerly known as Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home, our name is different, but our commitment to child welfare, family preservation and trauma-informed care is as strong as ever!  Our dedication to children, youth and families has been unwavering since we opened our doors in 1904. Today we provide safe housing, case management, counseling and supportive services to youth in foster care, young adults aging out of care, and resilient single-parent families looking to become more self-sufficient.

What We Do

It takes more than our expert staff to support children and families in need—it takes an entire community. Through community education, a vibrant volunteer program, corporate engagement, and individual support, CYFS strives to help residents understand that they are not alone. When you give, you help us advocate for and work side-by-side with youth and families when they need us most.

Your support ensures our interdisciplinary team can customize our research-based treatment strategies and get creative to ensure residents get exactly what they need to move forward. Our collaborative approach is at the heart of our mission every day. We need resources we can put toward our greatest needs as they arise and evolve.

With your help, we aim to break the cycles of abuse, neglect, trauma, and poverty for those we serve.

What Your Donations Did Last Year

In 2023, your support and generosity helped us reach our $30,000 goal. Thanks to you, we were able to provide 15,402 days of care for over 200 residents and clients. What a difference we can make together!
