Company History
Every year in the U.S., nearly three million children are abused. Nearly three thousand of them die from the damage.
Shiloh Christian Children’s Ranch exists for these children. Shiloh was started by several men in northeast Missouri, who believed they could raise enough financial support to build and operate one to three homes near Clarence, Missouri. Don McCain of the Clarence Christian Church was the originator of the idea. Construction began in 1976 on the first home and was completed in the summer of 1977 and accepted its first children. Shiloh's mission statement is to provide Christian homes for abused, neglected and/or at-risk children and to meet the spiritual, emotional, educational, social, and physical needs of each child,
