Oakland Family Services is celebrating its 100th year of building brighter futures for individuals and families in our community! The agency started off as a small, nonprofit named the Michigan Children’s Aid Society Oakland Branch in 1921 serving children without homes and over the next 100 years transformed and flourished into the present-day Oakland Family Services, which touched the lives of more than 40,000 individuals last year. Through its prevention, education and treatment programs, Oakland Family Services has provided safe and loving homes for youth at risk of abuse and neglect, given children access to early learning that can change their lives, and helped those whose lives have been derailed by substance use disorders or mental health issues.
