Orchards Children’s Services
“I would like to highlight Orchards for their continued work in aiding foster kids and families finding suitable homes.”
Orchards Children’s Services began with a single home for seven boys—and has grown into one of Michigan’s largest child welfare agencies, serving over 8,000 children each year. Their mission is to strengthen families and communities through compassion, guidance, and opportunity. Every child they serve is a story of resilience and renewed possibility.
