About
Pendleton Place
In 1975, the Junior League of Greenville established Pendleton Place as an emergency shelter for children entering foster care.
Over the years, we have evolved into a community cornerstone for children and families experiencing foster care, homelessness, poverty, and other forms of trauma.
We offer programs that offer housing, hope, and healing.
​
We strengthen children while rebuilding families, because our vision is that children and youth are safe, families are whole, and communities are strong.
