Alpha is 100% privately funded, and there is no tuition charge for those served.  We are always in need of financial support, as well as food, clothing, and toys for the kids.  We also have a list of special needs. 

Alpha is a ministry for children in need due to abuse, neglect, being orphaned, troubled, or other forms of dysfunction.  Alpha provides the children with a loving family and opportunities for healing and growth.  A school learning center promotes excellence and success academically, sometimes for the first time, for each child.
