Through compassionate volunteers, we build a network to support families in social isolation facing crisis. Our goals are to prevent child neglect, reduce the number of children entering the child welfare system, and support families in their time of need.}_{Lydia Home Association}_{has been serving children and providing HOPE HEALING and HOME to children in Chicago since 1916 through their residential care, intact services, counseling, safe families PLUS, and foster care programs.}
