The Mission Of Carrie Steele - Pitts Home:
Carrie Steele - Pitts Home is a private, nonprofit, and nondiscriminatory child caring agency that provides 24-hour state approved residency for neglected, abandoned abused or orphaned. Through the services of caring informed, and responsible staff, the Home aims to maintain a family environment that fosters the physical, social-emotional, mental and spiritual development of each child.

A celebration of the past, a legacy of the future:
On our 100th birthday, the Carrie Steele - Pitts Home hosted a homecoming reunion for over 300 men and women representing multiple generations of children who spent a part of their childhood at the Home. DFACS workers came to see the children that they had worked with years before, now adults. Past residents gasped when they recognized a former roommate, a child they looked up to, or a favorite confidante.
The reunion was a powerful testimony to the powerful impact of the Carrie Steele - Pitts Home. As we celebrated a century of caring for children in need, the theme of the birthday party was "Share The Legacy". We emphasized the good work that we have done and encouraged everyone to share in our success.
Now, as we look to the future, we recognize the importance of ensuring that our organization will always be able to respond to the pressing needs of at-risk children. What the children need now is a place where they can participate in therapeutic, cultural, and enrichment activities. It is vital to their growth and development.
We must build a Life Learning Center; a special place for the children of Carrie Steele - Pitts Home. It will be a cultural and recreation center that is accessible to the entire community. We must ensure that the legacy will continue.
