We strengthen the safety and well-being of children, individuals, and families.

The 2026 Social Work Month theme honors the prime mission of the Social Work profession – to enhance human well-being, meet the basic human needs of all people, and put special attention on the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty.

Every day we see the power social workers have on our community to uplift, strengthen, and positively transform children and families. The work our frontline staff do is needed now more than ever, and we are so inspired by all they do even when it’s hard.

Thank you so much to those who chased their passion for making a difference in the world straight into the social work profession!

One of our main goals as an agency is to keep families together, whenever possible.

Families First, a family preservation program, offers families intensive, short-term crisis intervention and family education services in their homes for four to six weeks. Families First Specialists are available and accessible to the family 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The worker helps the parents identify their needs and strengths with regards to parenting, and then develops a plan with them to meet their children’s developmental, physical, emotional, educational, medical, and safety needs.

We know that becoming true partners with our clients allows them to feel supported and encouraged, which is vital to their success.

February is Black History Month. The official theme for Black History Month 2026 is “A Century of Black History Commemorations”, which invites communities to reflect not only on the history itself, but on how the rituals of remembering have helped shape culture, identity, and national understanding of Black life.

Today we want to highlight Sojourner Truth, originally named Isabella Baumfree, who was born enslaved in Swartekill, New York.

After escaping in 1826, she adopted the name Sojourner Truth and dedicated her life to fighting for abolition, women's rights, and social justice. In 1857, she settled in Battle Creek, Michigan, where she continued her advocacy for civil rights and community upliftment until her death in 1883.

We know that Black history is American history and that it's essential now more than ever to educate and remember.

Just before the holiday season, the Paw Paw Post of the Michigan State Police called to ask if we had families in need of a shopping trip to help with holiday shopping.

6 families were treated to breakfast, compliments of Walmart, and $1000/each to shop with, compliments of the Michigan State Troopers.

It was a really special day for some of our client families! We are so grateful to Walmart for loaning us some of their employees to help with the shopping and for the donuts and beverages. And really grateful to the State Troopers for supporting the community in such a concrete and compassionate way!
