About Child and Family Charities

For over 100 years, since 1911, Child and Family Charities has been protecting and strengthening families in need. The agency's founding purpose was "to secure for every child the same love and same opportunity that we would have our children receive should they be left orphaned or friendless." Over the years, under the same guiding principles, Child and Family Charities has evolved in the mid-Michigan community. Today, through 6 divisions and 30+ programs, Child and Family Charities offers a full spectrum of support to over 15,000 children, youth, and families annually—8,000 in the mid-Michigan area and 7,000 throughout Michigan. The primary mission of the private nonprofit organization is to strengthen and support children, families, and individuals as they evolve and grow in a changing community.
