MORE ABOUT CHILDREN’S HOME & AID
Who we are
Children’s Home & Aid gives vulnerable children of all ages a safe, stable home when they need it and the chance to learn, to heal, to love, to dream, and to reach their potential.
Every three minutes, someone calls us for help. And 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in communities all across Illinois, we answer that call.
Children’s lives and futures depend on it.
What we do
We do whatever it takes to put children on the path to a better life and keep them there.
We keep children safe from physical, developmental, and emotional harm. We find them a place where they can belong and help them recover what they have lost: health, hope, and faith in the people around them.
We strengthen fragile families, so children can stay where they belong without the threat of violence, abuse, or neglect.
We connect struggling parents and neighborhoods with the resources they need for their children, from early education to healthcare and counseling.
We advocate, innovate, and lead the call for better practice and policy for the children of Illinois and of the nation.
Simply put, we provide home and aid to children.
Where we do it
We go wherever children and families need us, and we work where that work has been proven to be most effective: at home, in the classroom, in the neighborhood, in the course of daily life. We are located across Illinois and each year serve more than 40,000 children and families in over 60 counties.
Why we do it
The quality of our lives and futures—yours, mine, and all our children’s—depends on it.
The cost of indifference to a child in danger—in lives lost, in the weakening of the bonds that hold us together as a society, in dollars spent on remediation or lost in human potential—is one that none of us can afford to pay.
