Buckhorn Children & Family Services was founded in Buckhorn, Kentucky in 1902 by the Rev. Harvey S. Murdoch, a Presbyterian Minister from Brooklyn NY. It was founded on the strong belief that, as Christian people we have an obligation to care for those who are most in need.
Over 100 years later, our Mission, “We Answer God’s Call to Seek Out Suffering Children and Families and Improve Their Lives” remains at the heart of our work. Through a variety of services, we care for abused and neglected children, birth to 18 years old, who come to us broken, untrusting, and without hope. We work to repair their damaged lives through residential services, treatment foster care and adoption, transitional living, and family preservation and reunification programs throughout Kentucky and Ohio.
Buckhorn’s dedicated employees work to Change Children’s Lives. You too can be a Change Agent by joining the Buckhorn family as a Foster Parent or as an Honorary Parent.
Buckhorn Children & Family Services is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA), is a member of the Ohio Association of Child Caring Agencies, the Children's Alliance of Kentucky, the Child Welfare League of America, and is a mission of the Presbyterian Church.
