About Our Organization
Epworth Village works with families whose children or youth are in imminent risk of out-of-home placement or who are at the point of coming back into their homes to reunite with their families. Epworth's professional staff provides services to first meet the basic family needs such as a clean and safe living environment, nurtitional resources, and personal health and hygiene concerns. Services are then tailored to fit the family's specific needs, goals, values, learning styles, and circumstances with a strong focus on parenting skills. Epworth Village provides Foster Care services as well as In-Home Family & Safety services.
In 2021, Epworth Village served:
-178 Children
-182 Adults
-100 Families
Epworth Village has a Beatrice location, where our In-Home team provides the following services
-Parenting Time/Supervised Visitation
-Family Support
-Drug Testing
In order to provide a safe, comfortable environment where families can learn and spend time together, our Beatrice office is in need of items for outdoor activites as well as furniture and appliances. The current space we use for family visitation, support, and parenting time needs outdoor play equipment such as riding toys, slides, a basketball hoop, and a swing set so the children have activites to do during a parent visit. Inside we need furniture as well as small appliances for the kitchen area so the families can make meals and sit down to eat as a familiy during a supervised visit. All money raised for this project will go to create an improved family space for the adults, children and youth we serve.
