History
of "The Home"
In
1865 'The Home for the Friendless' was organized for the dependents
of Civil War veterans and for women of limited resources.
Conceived
by a small group of Presbyterian women, The Auburn Female Bible
Society, The Home has operated without interruption since that
time. Although the times have brought about many changes, the
spirit remains its most distinguishing characteristic. The mellowing
brick building on Grant Avenue houses an active, friendly and
enthusiastic "family."
Known
today by many as "The Home," it has the capacity to
serve as home to 58 residents, both male and female. The facility
is licensed through The New York State Dept. of Health and is
a Non-Profit Organization.
