    Mission & History

    Children’s Village, Inc. provides a home that allows our children to grow and develop in all areas of their lives. We provide a “family unit” for children that have been orphaned, abused, neglected or have broken family relationships. This is accomplished by providing them with unconditional love, a spiritual foundation and positive parental guidance. Educational and enrichment programs are provided, and we encourage positive social relationships and community activities.

    For 50 years, Children’s Village, Inc. has provided shelter, food and clothing to Alabama’s abandoned, abused and neglected children. We are located in the southwestern area of Birmingham, Alabama, and presently have two houses in which we house ten boys and eight girls from the ages 6-18. We are the only facility in Jefferson County that can accept male and female siblings and, as a result, have been able to keep sibling groups together

    Values

    Faith “we have a strong foundation”

    Family Unity “we are a family”

    Commitment “we keep our promises”

    Accountability “we are here for the children”

    Transitional Living Home

    We recently acquired a third home that is adjacent to our existing properties. We plan to develop this property into a Transitional Home for children aging out of the foster care system. This recently acquired property is in need of repairs before it can become operational.

    Due to COVID-19, we had to shelve our major fundraisers such as the Cornelius Bennett Celebrity Golf Tournament, Bargain Village and the Founder’s Day Luncheon and, we are definitely feeling the effect of that financial loss. That’s why we’re asking you to help us by making a monthly or one-time contribution to Children’s Village. Your contribution will help us as we adapt to the ever-changing circumstances we face in these uncertain and difficult times.

  • Cornelius "Biscuit" Bennett 8th Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament

    Children's Village, Inc.

    Monday May 20, 2019 at Greystone Golf & Country Club

    Children's Village Inc. is a loving and Christian residential group home located in the western section of Birmingham, Alabama, that serves as the home environment to eighteen beautiful children...most of whom were homeless, facing abuse, abandonment, and neglect prior to coming to live at the Village. The home has provided guidance, educational and enrichment opportunities, positive social relationships, and participation in community activities for children. This very worthwhile organization has relied on government assistance and private and public funding in order to operate efficiently. However, reductions in government funding has threatened the effectiveness of our organizations operations. Once Mr Cornelius Bennett learned of potential reductions in government funding, he committed his support for the children. As a result, the Cornelius "Biscuit" Bennett Celebrity Golf Tournament was born...and is now in it's seventh year of existence. Now, we ask you to join Mr. Bennett, who is also a Children's Village Inc. Honorary Board Member, in supporting this most worthy fundraising effort!
