The result was the Orangewood <br />Children's Home, which was dedicated in 1985. After completing an expansion to the <br />Home in 1992, the Foundation turned its attention to serving the on -going needs of these <br />children and their families. OCF programs assist foster children and former foster <br />children leaving the dependency system, strengthen at -risk families, and are designed to <br />prevent and break the generational cycle of abuse.
