About
Mission: Empower. Advocate. Support.
The origins of Caring Connection are historic and deep. In 1891, as the National Childrens Home Society for the District of Michigan, our mission was to secure for every child the same love and the same opportunity that we would have our own children receive should they be left orphaned and friendless.
Since that time, our programs have evolved to meet the needs of the communities we serve, and we have grown to become a full-service organization serving children, families, and adults of all ages. Most recently, we were known as The Avenue, but our programs demanded a name that would better encompass all that we do. Today, we are Caring Connection. Home to multiple programs that provide care, understanding and hope for the future to so many people in our community.
