Kids Hope United was founded as Chicago Baptist Orphanage in 1895 and Hudelson Baptist Children's Home in 1903. Today, we are a federation of agencies that spans four states, serving more than 15,000 children and families each year.

We provide advocacy, support and treatment to vulnerable children and families. Although there are countless child welfare agencies across the United States, very few organizations are able to offer the diverse array of prevention, intervention and community-based programs and services available through our organization.
