Sunrise Children's Services is a faith-based non-profit agency that cares for children and youth who have fallen victim to abuse or neglect. Sunrise operates 10 residential treatment facilities and therapeutic foster care homes throughout the state of Kentucky, as well as a crisis stabilization unit in Danville, a youth support center in London, and IMPACT Plus case management and service coordination for Medicaid-eligible children in western and central Kentucky. Through these programs, nearly 400 children are served each day. Adoption services and family counseling are also available. As a faith-based agency, we believe in treating the whole child - body and spirit - so they can grow up to break the cycle of abuse and become productive citizens.

Each year in Kentucky, more than 72,000 reports are filed of children being physically, mentally or sexually abused. Fortunately, many of these children find refuge with Sunrise Children's Services.

This ministry was launched 140 years ago, when a home was established in downtown Louisville to care for orphans of the Civil War. Since then, Sunrise has not missed one day of caring for children in need.

While the needs of Kentucky’s children and families have changed over the last 140 years, Sunrise Children’s Services commitment continues: We are to extend the grace and hope of our loving God as Jesus did, meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those in our care.
