Meet Our Staff
We are excited to introduce the people who work tirelessly to support our children and the Collins Children's Home every day.
Executive Director
Alena is the face of Collins Children's Home in our community.
She works closely with our board's executive directors and oversees the many duties required to keep our whole Collins Home campus running efficiently.
She is highly educated with a BS in Business Administration and Associates in Computer Information Systems. She is certified as a Professional in Human Resources and Non-Profit Leadership management.
Office Manager
Christina is the pleasant voice you hear when you call us.
She wears many hats from taking donations by phone or keeping track of the RSVP s for our fundraising events. (Just to name a few of the many roles)
Ultimately, she keeps our office running smoothly
Rev. Jeff & Becky Lunsford
Houseparents
Jeff and Becky are the heart and soul of the girls' home caring for up to 10 children. Christian values drive their efforts to model a loving family. They create a safe, consistent, and therapeutic environment to help our children to thrive today and in the future, as adults.
They support the vital aspects of a child's spiritual, emotional, social, intellectual, and physical needs to help them achieve their goals.
Joe & Anne Rackley
Founders
Joe and Anne had a vision forty years ago to create a haven for children in need. A place children in our loving community could call home and feel their needs were being met. A place where children could flourish and become their best selves.
Joe and Anne are now enjoying their retirement years. They still offer support where needed. Ultimately, they know they have passed the torch to a great group of people that will continue to carry their dream forward well into the future.
