Our Impact

In 1960, in an old house in Grand Rapids, Wedgwood’s first home for vulnerable teens was founded. The residents arrived, having experienced abuse and neglect, to find house parents who provided grace-filled care and thoughtful structure. For most of the teens, it was the first place they called home, where they felt safe.

Over sixty-six years later, Wedgwood is still a safe place for kids to heal and now also provides care and counseling to adults and families. Today, staff in the homes, outpatient offices, and community programs are committed to providing that same grace-filled care. We are grateful for the amazing transformations taking place through Wedgwood’s life-changing services and know that God is at the center of it all.

“I just want to thank Wedgwood’s staff for everything they have done for my son. They did an amazing job helping him find his way again, and helped me as well. I don’t think I could ever thank Wedgwood enough for everything they have done.”

'Tina' Parent of Residential Client

“This is the best service I’ve ever received and I’ve been in a lot of services since I was younger. I didn’t expect the dedication from all the people here that I’ve worked with, or the success that I’ve had. I’ve really improved and I feel it.”
