The Jewish Foster Home was established in 1892.

Duffie Workum Freiberg initially imagined creating a daytime nursery, but she quickly identified a need for more comprehensive care. The Jewish Foster Home was established in 1892.

She founded the foster home and provided the children with three nutritious meals, a room to study for their lessons, a nursery, and a safe place to sleep.
