More Than a Move: How Our New Home Reflects Our Mission

Welcome to Our New Home

When we first envisioned a new space for Kindred Hearts, it wasn’t just about needing more room—it was about creating the right environment. One that reflects our mission, our values, and the deep commitment we hold for the families we serve.

After months of planning, building, and settling in, we’re proud to announce that Kindred Hearts is now located at 2110 Ferry Street in Anderson. And this move is so much more than a new address—it’s a new chapter.

A Space Rooted in Mission

Our new campus was designed to bring our mission to life in every detail. At Kindred Hearts, we walk alongside adoptive families—providing support, education, and encouragement throughout the lifelong journey of adoption. Now, our physical space matches that calling.

We’ve expanded into a three-building campus to serve families more intentionally:

Main Building: Administrative offices, ECM, Wraparound services, and community programs
Counseling Building: A calm, private space for clinical services and healing
Garage Hub: Storage for event supplies, recreational materials, and creative tools

Trauma-Informed Design, Inside and Out

Healing doesn’t happen under harsh lights or in sterile rooms. It happens in spaces that are warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for emotional safety. Every inch of our space was crafted with trauma-informed principles in mind:

Natural light in the lobby and meeting rooms
Soft textures, warm colors, and cozy spaces
Secured outdoor areas for movement and play
An on-site playground (opening August!)
Local artwork that reflects and honors our community

This isn’t just an office—it’s a home base for healing.

Built for Families, Not Just Services

We created this space with real families in mind—not just programs and paperwork.

Our new Family Room and Sensory Room offer safe, engaging areas for kids during groups and trainings.
The Community Room provides flexible space for events, meetings, and education.
The Counseling Wing gives our clinical team a quiet, focused space for meaningful work.
Our Wraparound and ECM teams now collaborate in real time with administrative and community staff.

Because when care is coordinated, families thrive.

A Phased Approach, Built on Purpose

As a nonprofit, we know transformation takes time. This move is unfolding in stages—finishing touches like landscaping and décor will continue to evolve. But the heart of the space is already here, alive and thriving.

Each addition—from garden beds to therapy rooms—is rooted in our mission:

healing, connection, and belonging.

Investing in Growth, for the Long Haul

This move isn’t just about today—it’s about building a stronger future.

With more space, we’re already:

Welcoming new families
Expanding programming
Onboarding new mentors and clinicians

This campus gives us the infrastructure we need to grow while staying rooted in what matters most: the quality of care and compassion we offer.

Belonging You Can Feel

This space is a reflection of our heart.

It’s where children can laugh, parents can breathe, and healing feels possible.

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are just discovering Kindred Hearts, we hope you’ll visit. We’d love to show you around.

Because we didn’t build this just for us—we built it for you.
