In Hawaii, thousands of families rely on help from Child & Family Service. Celebrating 110 years of service to the island community, Child & Family Service is the state’s oldest and most comprehensive non-profit organization providing vital social services and advocacy for children and families in need. Our organization touches more than 40,000 lives annually through its quality programs on Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Lanai, Molokai and the Big Island. In the century since its founding, Child & Family Service has grown tremendously, but its mission has remained constant, “strengthening families and fostering the healthy development of children.”

We invite you to join our organization and help create a success story for needy children, families and our treasured kupuna. For more information, visit our website at www.childandfamilyservice.org.
