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
Search coming soon for our new Executive Director
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 Girls Home
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.
Richard and Misty Veronee
Houseparents -Boys Home
Richard and Misty and their two children are our new houseparents for the boy's home. Richard and Misty are adoptive parents and former foster parents that are called to Collins Children's Hom. They attend and are members of Maranatha Baptist Church.
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 passed away in 2020 and we miss him dearly.
Anne still offers 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.
