About Us

It all started when…

FACES was established in 1951 to meet emergency medical and health needs of abused and neglected children of Morgan County.

Just as the problems of poverty, mental illness, mental retardation, teenage pregnancy, drug/alcohol addiction, and domestic violence have increased, so has the number of children requiring out of home care for their safety and protection.

Until the world finds a way to alleviate all the problems that can lead a family to become so dysfunctional that child abuse becomes a way of life, we will continue to need community support for the FACES of Morgan County’s Abused and Neglected Children.
