This Giving Tuesday, wrap Chicago families in care. Your donation goes incredibly far for children, youth and families in Chicago.
Kaleidoscope’s programs are about much more than a single assessment, a single intervention, a single chance for change. We help families succeed in every aspect of their lives: housing, employment, groceries, transit passes, school advocacy, healthcare access, and so much more.
You make our programs possible. You ensure we can work with each family to understand their unique needs, to build on their strengths, and to deliver the care they need to be safe, happy and successful.
Your Impact
Most of the families we serve face multiple challenges: poverty, unmet mental health needs, domestic violence, substance use, housing insecurity and food insecurity. These issues are risk factors on their own, and their compounding effects significantly increase the risk for child abuse and neglect.
But the child welfare system only provides support after a child is harmed, not when the warning signs are there. Kaleidoscope goes above and beyond to serve families, especially through our THRIVE Collaborative. In partnership with Bethel New Life, Mary Crane Center and 15+ community organizations, we are increasing access to resources, investing in marginalized communities.
