MacDonell Children’s Services is a residential home for children whose circumstances leave them in need of a safe, loving and nurturing environment in Terrebonne Parish. While in their care, children can count on being physically secure, fed in mind, body and spirit, and empowered with the hope and optimism needed by everyone to move forward into successful adulthood.
