Welcome to Connie Maxwell Children’s Home!
Connie Maxwell is a home for some children who have been abandoned, abused , or neglected and some who have been placed by loving caregivers going through difficult situations. In either case, children have a safe, secure, loving environment at Connie Maxwell. In addition to the main campus in Greenwood, Connie Maxwell Children’s Home provides residential care and family support through satellite locations in Chesterfield, Mauldin, Orangeburg and Florence as well as referral services in Summerville. Each year more than 200 children of diverse needs and backgrounds call Connie Maxwell home. Some children stay as little as a few months, others for many years. Some arrive alone, others with siblings. Most are between the ages of six and eighteen. Children who remain through high school graduation receive financial support for college.
