Happy 2026 from The Open Arms Home for Children! As the year ended, 6 new girls found their way to our OA family, bringing our current total to 7. The girls were so richly blessed this holiday season, and we thank all of our community supporters who made this possible. The girls delighted in a restful break with movies, cookies, and fun activities including a day-trip to Dollywood! Tickets were donated by our generous and kind-hearted board member, Pearl. Although it was cold, the girls had a wonderful time and made lasting memories! Thank you to board member, Kim, who accompanied the group!
