About Child and Family Charities

Founded as the Ingham County Branch of the Michigan Children's Aid Society in 1911, the original missions of Child and Family Charities was "to secure for every child the same love and same opportunity that we would have our children receive should they become orphaned or friendless." Over one years later, the agency now provides critical prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery programs for abused, neglected and at-risk children and youth and their families-- directed at keeping families intact and a belief that the strength of the community lies in the health, happiness, and self-sufficiency of its families. Our Mission: To strengthen and support children, families and individuals as they evolve and grow in a changing community.
