Welcome to Presbyterian Children's Homes and Services Planned Giving

The Rev. Elliot Smith
Vice President for Development

Your interest in helping children in need and their families is deeply appreciated! Presbyterian Children's Homes and Services' goal is to provide you with helpful gift planning information. Many friends of this ministry we share are currently enjoying the peace of mind that comes with receiving a guaranteed lifetime income while knowing their gift ultimately will be used to help children in need.

You can learn how you can create your own legacy of caring right here on our website. Take your time, look around, and feel free to contact me with any questions. I will be happy to assist you in your planning. Blessings to you and yours!
