Missouri Girls Town
The Number One Project for GFWC of Missouri
In 1953, GFWC of Missouri founded Missouri Girls Town, a residential care center for abused and neglected girls. This facility, located in Kingdom City, has grown to become one of the largest providers of residential care for abused and neglected girls in Missouri. Since its inception, GFWC of Missouri clubs have continually supported Missouri Girls Town which has enable hundreds of girls to successfully rebuild their lives. Now serving 56 girls, Missouri Girls Town offers each youngster the change to overcome past traumas and to live in an environment that emphasizes the normal process of growing up through group living, education, and wholesome activities. GFWC clubwomen are encouraged to visit the campus any time and particularly during annual open house held on the first Saturday of October. From the Missouri Girls Town website:
Missouri Girls Town has had a single mission: "To provide a loving, stable home for abused and neglected girls." It is a mission that defines who we are, what we do, and why we say confidently that Girls Town is a home "where caring counts."
GFWC of Missouri clubs are proud to continue this effort as our #1 state project.
