Bethany for Children & Families

In my world, kindness feels like the best kind of present. It's the kind you don’t even have to unwrap because you can feel it right away. 💕

When people like you give, it makes kids feel seen, supported, and loved. And that kindness? It creates real-life magic. Tia, one of Bethany’s Nurturing Parenting clients, reached out for help for basic needs for her family. When her caseworker called to tell her she was approved, she broke down in tears and asked us to thank you for giving her hope during this holiday season. ✨

Your generosity can create even more moments like hers. 💙 You can help more families like Tia's today at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/inachildsworld

✨ Every child deserves to feel safe.
Safe to laugh. Safe to dream. Safe to just be a kid.

Your gift supports Bethany’s Intact Family Services, which works directly in families’ homes to help parents facing real challenges. Case managers walk alongside families as they heal and grow, offering parenting support, counseling, substance use help, and even food assistance. In the past year, 90% of parents who were part of Intact kept their families together!

Because of this program, children don’t have to leave their homes to be safe. With your help, we can build stronger families here in our community. Because in a child’s world, safety isn’t just protection, it’s hope, healing, and the chance to grow into who they were meant to be. 💛 https://secure.qgiv.com/for/inachildsworld/

In my world, magic feels real.✨

It sounds like laughter echoing down the hallway, smells like cookies in the oven, and feels like someone finally saying, “You’re safe here.”

This holiday season, we’re inviting you to see the world through a child’s eyes. A world where kindness matters, hope is possible, and small moments of care can make everything brighter. 💙

As we enter the season of giving, we hope you’ll take a moment to imagine what’s possible in a child’s world and help us make it real. Your gift can give the chance for a child to feel secured, seen, and loved. https://secure.qgiv.com/for/inachildsworld/

Huge thank you to Delta Dental of Illinois for a generous $10,000 gift to support our Give Kids a Smile Program! ❤️🦷

Because of partners like you, kids in our community get the dental care, comfort, and confidence they deserve. It's amazing what a healthy smile can do — courage on the playground, confidence in the classroom, and a little extra sparkle in a child's world.

Thank you for helping us keep kids shining bright!😁

🌟 Our Community. Our Mission. Our Impact.
Today we’re proud to share our Impact Report, a snapshot of what Bethany for Children & Families and Bridgeview Community Mental Health Center accomplished together this past year. 💙

From strengthening families to expanding mental health support, every number in this report represents a real person in our community. Every number is a family or child who found safety, stability, or hope because programs like ours are here when they’re needed most.

These outcomes are possible because of partners, donors, volunteers, and neighbors who believe in building a stronger, healthier Quad Cities community. Your support fuels the work. Your trust keeps us moving forward.

📘Take a look at the full FY 2025 Impact Report and see what we achieved together.
