Since 1929, the Andrew Drumm Institute has been providing a safe, stable long-term home for children whose parents are not able to care for them. In the State of Missouri alone, there are over 12,000 children in the Foster Care System. Although the system works well for some children, many experience frequent moves from one foster home to another and are often separated from their biological siblings. For children in foster care The Drumm Institute offers a permanent home where children can enjoy their childhood and grow up with their siblings and receive the support they need to become successful adults.
