Established as an orphanage and children’s home in 1922, The Marsh Foundation programs have evolved over the past 90-plus years. The Marsh continues to serve children who need a home, but has expanded its services to include counseling and a more comprehensive treatment program.

These reunion events are reserved for former students and employees. A public open house will be held on campus on September 13. More details will be announced soon.

Serving children and families since 1922, The Marsh Foundation is a not-for-profit children’s services agency that provides behavioral treatment in a variety of settings.
