Hurricane Michael Hits Us Hard
On Wednesday, October 10, 2018, Anchorage Children’s Home was in the direct path of Hurricane Michael, the most devastating Category 5 Hurricane to hit the Florida panhandle. By the grace of God, all youth were safe, but our shelter and transitional living facilities sustained severe damage and were unlivable for months after the storm.
Due to the generosity of many community members and construction crews, Anchorage was able to reopen its doors a little more than 4 months after the storm.
