Gladney and Gladney families are very proud of our humanitarian aid projects. We believe humanitarian projects illustrate the philosophies, care and concern of an organization, its adoptive families, and staff. Gladney and Gladney families feel a strong sense of responsibility to the children that will never be adopted and want in some small way, to make their lives better. In keeping with our mission as a social service agency we have developed humanitarian aid programs.

China:

Infant Formula Program

In China, the Baby Formula Project helps buy baby formula and ship it to the orphanages. The babies in the recipient orphanages are growing healthy. The project currently only assists infants as most of the infants will be adopted by international families. Gladney started this project three years ago, and it has been expanding every year with donations from Gladney families and support by charitable organizations such as Yahoo! Employees Foundation. Yahoo! Employees Foundation gave $15,000 last year, and has committed to giving $5,000 for this year. A couple of family foundations have also participated in this project. Gladney hopes to expand the baby formula project every year, depending on the resources available.
