Our Mission

CFSM’s mission is “working to provide service for a network of member and co-operating agencies that promote the emotional and social well-being of Michigan’s children and families”. We are a private, non-profit, statewide, non-sectarian social service organization that for 124 years has provided a wide range of programs directed toward strengthening Michigan's children and families. Today we provide comprehensive social services through nine member agencies across the State and are the repository for one of the countries largest collections of adoption records. We also provide comprehensive support services to other Michigan non-profit social service agencies, operate a progressive post-adoption program, and sponsor and coordinate “Operation Good Cheer”, a volunteer driven Christmas gift-giving program for children in foster care.
