Brightpoint is a distinguished child and family service organization. We started our journey as Children’s Home & Aid and have been serving Illinois since 1883. Children’s Home & Aid was founded on the belief that we had a responsibility to find homes for children. We evolved and recognized that there is bravery in the daily choices our families make, and that bravery serves as the spark that ignites the opportunities for children and youth to thrive. Brightpoint promises to be brave with our families and support their brave choices, because we know that those choices can create strong families and strong families create thriving children.
