our story

Magic Happens When People Come Together to Create Change

In May 2007, when a few residents of Ocean View noticed an alarming number of homeless families in their neighborhood, they banded together to offer a solution. Haven House was established as an emergency shelter for families and children.

Today, more than 35 years since its inception, 10000 Kids Inc operates the Landmark Center in Chesapeake and the Birdsong Center in Suffolk, with more than 140 staff members and 1,100 volunteers, serving more than 70,000 individuals across HENDERSON annually.

Data Makes Us Happy

Our team loves to crunch the numbers to find out what works and what doesn’t.

At the end of the day, our most valuable feedback comes from our participants. Through surveys, focus groups and our alumni advisory board, our families inform our work.
