Orchards Children's Services

🚨 URGENT NEED 🚨 Orchards’ Family Visitation Area is ready for a refresh—and we need your help! Visit our Amazon registry to donate items needed to keep this important space inviting and engaging for children and families: https://buff.ly/4crBMa5

At Orchards Children’s Services, we believe that the reunification of families in a safe and stable family environment whenever possible provides the most positive outcome for a child’s well-being. Our Family Visitation Area plays an essential role in the healing and development of children in foster care: it is a space where families can reconnect and create meaningful moments together, while allowing case workers to oversee interactions and help determine if family reunification is in the child’s best interest.

Are you or someone in your care aged 21 or younger living in Macomb, Oakland, or Wayne county, who was adopted or is eligible for guardianship assistance through MDHHS? If so, be sure to follow us at Orchards Children's Services - Post Adoption Resource Center to learn about activities, resources, support groups, and fun events specifically designed for you! PARC’s goal is to build community and support families through the rewarding, lifelong journey of adoption.

PARC services in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb are provided by Orchards Children's Services and funded by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Learn more at parc-orchards.org

Donate today to help the children we serve prepare for a successful school year ahead! We're getting a head start seeking donations of new school supplies so our staff and volunteers can make sure they get into the hands of children in need before school is back in session—and so parents and caretakers know the kids in their care are ready for the year ahead.

Visit our Amazon Wish List to donate supplies, or if you prefer to make a monetary donation, you can visit our online donation form and check the box for Back-to-School Drive. We'll use the funds to purchase remaining school supplies not fulfilled through our registry.
