We’re feeling incredibly grateful today. 💙

Huge thank you to the Brissman Foundation at the Quad Cities Community Foundation for awarding grants to us and so many other nonprofits doing meaningful work in our community.

Their generosity isn’t just funding programs. It’s fueling hope, collaboration, and real impact for the people we all serve. We’re proud to be part of a community that shows up!

Support like this reminds us that collective care is everything. 🫶

The Grant W. Brissman and Virginia M. Brissman Foundation, administered by the Quad Cities Community Foundation, has awarded $161,000 in grants to 36 nonprofits supporting quality of life in the Village of Milan.

Our teams at Bethany and Bridgeview brought the holiday spirit during our Holiday Spirit Week!🎄✨ We also had a workspace decorating contest. Our Holiday Cheer Meister is Amanda Howe, and our workspace winners are Phoenix Day Treatment Program, Krissie McLaughlin, and the Front Office at our Moline location. During our Holiday Spirit week, the program that had the most participants for Program Cheer Section Day was Wraparound and the Therapeutic Recreation Program (TRP).

These moments remind us that caring for our community starts with caring for the people doing the work! 💚

In a child’s world, understanding their body, their boundaries, and their worth can change everything.
Bethany’s prevention programs teach kids how to make safe choices, build self-esteem, and recognize healthy relationships—often giving them the tools no one else has ever taught them. For many, it’s the first time they feel truly empowered.

Your support helps protect kids in the community. You can help us protect more children by making a gift to the "In a Child's World" holiday campaign. ✨https://secure.qgiv.com/for/inachildsworld

Every gift you give makes that kind of magic real for children and families in our community. It brings warmth to cold days, hope to hard times, and joy to hearts that need it most.

This season, your generosity is the kind of magic every child dreams of. Your gift helps children and families find moments of hope this holiday season. 💙🎄 https://secure.qgiv.com/for/inachildsworld

Grateful to Project NOW, Inc. and Christian Care QC for holding space for remembrance through Homeless Persons Memorial Day—lifting up each name, each story, and each life.

Our community is stronger when we remember, reflect, and care for one another. 💙

Last year, Bethany’s housing programs helped 30 individuals find stability—including two teen moms, Ella and Mandi.

Ella had been couch-hopping with her newborn. Mandi was raising her baby in a cramped motel room while working every shift she could. Both were doing everything right but without a safe place to live, they were stuck.

Bethany gave them more than housing. We gave them stability, guidance, and the chance to breathe again. We are able to do this because of your generosity! You can help provide families with stability and guidance. 💚✨ https://secure.qgiv.com/for/inachildsworld

✨We are truly honored to share that Bethany has received generous grant awards from the Charles Deere Wiman Memorial Trust and the Sheila Murphy Foundation!

These investments in our work strengthen our ability to serve children, families, and communities across the Quad Cities. Support like this ensures we can continue meeting critical needs, expand impactful programs, and sustain long-term community wellbeing. 💙

We are grateful for the confidence these foundations have placed in our mission and thankful for all who partner with us to make our work possible. Your support — whether through grantmaking, volunteering, or everyday advocacy — truly makes a difference.

And thank you to Moline Regional Community Foundation for helping us build stronger, healthier communities together.💕

Sometimes, joy doesn’t come from big things. It’s the little moments that make the world feel safe again.💖

When you give to Bethany for Children & Families, you help make those moments possible. You help children find laughter again, parents find hope again, and families find their way back to joy. Your gift helps children and families find moments of joy this season! https://secure.qgiv.com/for/inachildsworld

Huge shoutout and endless thanks to John Deere Combine & Front End Engineering Center, John Deere Harvester, John Deere SWOB, and 392 Café for showing up for our Angel Tree program 🎄💚
Because of you, so many kids will have gifts under the tree this season and that’s the kind of magic we’re here for.

And thank you to Monson Towing for letting us borrow their roller conveyor. Getting all those gifts into our basement was way smoother thanks to you.

We’re beyond grateful for our community! 🫶
