Buckner International

When R.C. Buckner founded Buckner Orphans Home in 1879, he did so with the purpose and intent of providing care for orphan children left behind in the wake of this nation's Civil War. Today, Buckner is one the largest and most diverse private social care agencies of its kind in the nation. This diversity of ministry has led Buckner to develop programs and services that reach deeply into every corner of our modern society. Whether assisting a young woman facing a crisis pregnancy situation, providing love and nuture for neglected children or offering comfort for those facing the complexities of the aging process, the mission of Buckner is to help people put together the broken pieces of their lives.
