Why We Need You: Fueling the Heart of Vashti’s Mission

At The Vashti Center for Children & Families, every life we touch is a story in progress—one of heartbreak and healing, of trauma and transformation, of challenge and redemption. And at the heart of each story is the unseen, often unfunded foundation that makes it all possible: general operations.

From the food in our kitchens to the lights in our classrooms, the salaries of our frontline workers to the repairs that keep our campus safe and strong—none of this work can continue without consistent, unrestricted support.

That’s why we’re launching a bold, $1 million campaign to support Vashti’s general operations. This fund powers every corner of our campus—from our residential foster care cottages and afterschool clubhouse to our school-based counseling programs, community outreach, training initiatives, and faith-based services. These are the vital, everyday needs that don’t always make headlines, but they are what make healing possible.

Your gift helps ensure:

Our 24/7 residential team continues to provide structure, support, and safety to teens in crisis.
Our counselors can show up in schools across six counties to meet children where they are.
Our chaplain can guide our youth with spiritual care and mentorship.
Our facilities stay welcoming, clean, and ready to serve over 500 children and families each year.
Our team of 70+ professionals have the tools, training, and encouragement they need to thrive.

This is more than just a donation—it’s an investment in hope, resilience, and the future of South Georgia’s most vulnerable children.

We’re asking you to walk with us. To help fund the mission behind the mission. To keep the lights on, the hearts open, and the healing going.

Join us in reaching our $1 million goal. Because when our foundation is strong, so is our impact.
