A Christ-centred nonprofit founded in 1904, headquartered in Lakeland, Florida, delivering foster care, hunger relief, anti-trafficking and family support programmes.
One More Child is a Christ-centred non-profit organisation serving vulnerable children and struggling families. Founded on February 1st 1904 as the Florida Baptist Orphanage, it has operated for more than a century and today reports annual contact with over 270,000 children and families, locally and globally. Its headquarters is in Lakeland, Florida, which also acts as the hub for statewide foster care licensing.
The organisation's work spans several programme areas. Foster care services place hurting children in loving Christian homes. Child hunger programmes deliver more than 19 million meals a year to hungry children, both in Florida and abroad. Anti-trafficking efforts seek to bring healing to victims of sex trafficking and to prevent exploitation. Single mothers are supported through mentoring, housing assistance and life-skills training, while broader family engagement offers resources and relationships aimed at stability. Services are delivered through local Compassion Centers, alongside child sponsorship initiatives, community development programmes and mission trips that extend the organisation's work worldwide.
Roles at One More Child sit within a faith-based ministry setting, with work rooted in Christian values and directed at both immediate needs and longer-term family stability. The organisation's reach covers Florida statewide as well as international programmes, giving it a presence that is local at its Lakeland base and global in its mission.
