A bold vision for the future of The Home for Little Wanderers—grounded in our mission, informed by the voices of those we serve and focused on creating better, brighter futures for children and their families.

Our 2026–2030 Strategic Plan charts the path forward for The Home for Little Wanderers as we build on more than 225 years of experience, innovation and impact. The plan focuses on three key priorities that will guide The Home’s work in the years ahead: growing and strengthening our programs to meet evolving needs, advancing organizational excellence across all areas of our organization, and amplifying our voice through philanthropy, policy and thought leadership. Together, these priorities reflect our commitment to creating a stronger future for children, young adults, and families—and to leading the way toward meaningful change in the systems that support them.

Our kids aren’t just wishing for toys or a bike…
they’re hoping for a loving family and a place to belong.
Help us grant their biggest holiday wishes!
