The campus of Manuelito Navajo Children's Home is located 2 1/2 miles west of Gallup, in the Williams Acres/Mentmore area, nestled between Interstate 40 and historic Route 66.  From I-40, take exit 16 onto Hwy 66 (see map below).  Travel west to Theta Street.  The MNCH sign marks the entry to the campus.

The MNCH campus includes an administration building, three residential-care cottages, the Gallup Christian School (occupying one of the old cottages), a gymnasium, a cottage for single mothers, houses for staff, storage buildings, livestock pens, and other facilities and resources.  The MNCH campus is the product of the faithful support and generous contributions of countless people and congregations.
