About
Black Mountain Home for Children, Youth & Families was incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in 1947. Our ministry was established as Mountain Orphanage in 1904 and we have been located on our current campus since 1923. We are not owned or managed by the government, except as NC licensing and other laws apply.
After their homes are deemed unsafe or unhealthy, children are placed in our care by the court system and Department of Social Services in their home county. We serve children from birth through college age and beyond. Many of our children have been neglected, abused, or abandoned. Some stay with us for only a few weeks, while others are with us until they reach adulthood. We put to bed up to 110 children each night, and serve 150 to 170 children annually.
