Opportunities From: United Way of the Mid-South

Since its inception in 1850, Porter-Leath has cared for children without viable or stable families while continually broadening its scope to fill the community’s need. Porter-Leath opened its foster care and adoption program in 1986 to place children from abusive environments with parents willing to care for them in a home setting. In 1993, the doors to Sarah’s Place were opened to serve as a structured therapeutic shelter to meet the emergency needs of children.

Sarah's Place is in need of donations so that the children coming in to services have clothes, toiletries, and school uniforms to call their own.  Please consider making a purchase from the list below:
