History
In 1967, William Bair received a vision from the Lord while attending a preaching mission service at the Neshannock Presbyterian Church in New Wilmington, PA. Through it, he was directed to form an organization to care for underprivileged, handicapped, misguided and parent-less youth.
The Bair Foundation was chartered on December 15, 1967, and the first board meeting was held on January 1, 1968.
Mr. Bair was a lay Methodist minister and a full time employee of People's Natural Gas Company for 18 years. He left both positions behind to devote himself full-time to the ministry of serving children and families.
