Wiregrass Children's Home

provides a safe haven for neglected and abused children throughout seven counties in the Wiregrass area of Southeast Alabama.

Hope in a Time of Crisis

Our presence affords these children the loving support they so desperately need in the midst of their crisis, as well as a window of hope and a promise for a better tomorrow.

WCH is the only licensed emergency shelter in the Wiregrass area providing care to children birth to 18 years of age. Our goal is to extend as much love and comfort as possible during this critical time in a child’s life, reaching out to meet their every need whether it be physical, spiritual, emotional or mental.

Since opening our doors in 1989, the Wiregrass Children’s Home has served more than 700 children; some for only one night, yet others for multiple years. We are capable of caring for up to 10 children at any given time, with placement being coordinated through referrals from the Alabama Department of Human Resources. We welcome boys and girls, as well as siblings, providing the first step to a new life and the rebuilding of a new future.

The Wiregrass Children’s Home, a 501c3 Non-Profit, ministers to abused and neglected children of the Wiregrass Area. Along with providing food, clothing and shelter to those children, WCH believes in offering a happy, loving and secure Christian environment – ultimately a Bridge to Brighter Futures.

Jenifer Sconyers, Executive Director

I was born and raised in Ozark, AL where I graduated in 1997 from Carroll High School. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Troy University. I used my degree to pursue a career in social work. I have worked for the state of Florida, Alabama, and the Alabama Department of Mental Health where I case managed adults with special needs. I have been the Executive Director at WCH since 2016.

I am married to Bucky Sconyers and together we share 6 boys: Peyton (18), Logan (15), Dawson (16), Gavin (15), Gunner (12), and Drake (10).

I am honored to be a part of the WCH family and to be able to give my love and support to the children that enter our door. I am so fortunate to be able to say, “I love my job” and truly mean it!
