Family & Children Services, Inc.

Happy Thanksgiving! Our offices are closed today and tomorrow to allow staff time with families and friends. We look forward to serving you on Monday.

Thank you so much to The Sophisticated Ladies for donating a Thanksgiving meal to one of our client families of 8! The Sophisticated Ladies are a group of working ladies that get together every month to have dinner and enjoy good fun and great company. They decided this year they wanted to make a difference in the lives of our community so they reached out about partnering with a client family to deliver a delicious meal for Thanksgiving. Groups like these are testament to the fact that a small group of people can make a huge difference. Thank you!

Recently our Foster Care staff participated in the Bruin Boo at Kellogg Community College. They were there to cheer on all the families enjoying the evening together and to tell the community about the need for foster parents! With almost 10,000 Michigander children in need of foster parents, the need is great. If you are interested in learning more about foster parenting, click here! https://lnkd.in/gCPbQrAz

Thank you so much to our friends from Meijer- Gull Rd, for the donation to our HANDLE WITH CARE annual fund, which meets immediate needs and provides direct services to the clients in our programs.
