Please make plans to attend and support this home which has been in operation since 1948 and accepts only donations...they receive no state or federal monies, therefore...not mandated by those agencies..

Eldridge is located in NW Alabama, just off the new Corridor X I-22.. on State Hwy 13 at the intersection of old Hwy 78..
I am working on a Motel block of rooms for Friday night, with a dinner together on Friday night and breakfast on Saturday morning, the Children’s Home and benefit team will provide the lunch Saturday at noon... attendees should be able to be back on the road by 1:30 PM…we will have a program for the children after 2 PM…with giving of the gifts.
