As we step into 2025, we reflect on the strength, resilience, and hope that define our mission at Child and Family Services. Guided by our dedication to ensuring safety and well-being during life’s most challenging moments, we are excited to embrace new opportunities for growth and transformation this year.
With our Future in Focus, our vision of building resilient, strengths-based communities where individuals of all ages can thrive remains at the heart of everything we do.
In 2024, thanks to your unwavering support, we:
-
Provided safe, nurturing homes for 116 children in foster care.
-
Empowered families with programs like Safe Haven, Youth Services, Counseling, and more, ensuring they had the tools needed for success.
-
Fulfilled over 650 wish lists this holiday season through our Paper Angels program.
-
We hosted our 2nd annual Under the Moon and Stars Gala and met our funding goal (this year, we plan to beat it)!
This year, we are committed to doing even more. With your help, we aim to:
- Expand our mentorship program at Next Level, our Independent Living facility for teens in foster care ages 16-19.
- Install new playgrounds in both Traverse City and Harbor Springs to provide a safe, activity-based learning environment for kids in all of our programs.
- Expand training and support for foster families.
- Advocate for policy changes to benefit children and families in need.
