Strengthening Families, Building Community
Since 1884, Children & Families First has offered hope to people in need. Each year, we serve thousands of children and families across Delaware….Young women seeking support to have a healthy baby...Children in foster care awaiting a loving permanent home… Teens in need of help to reconnect to their families…Parents looking for better ways to communicate with their kids…Families with limited resources taking care of an elderly parent…and more.

Please join us as we create a community where children are nurtured and safe; individuals are valued; and families are strong.

  • It is with great sadness that we share the news that our Board Vice-Chair, Doug Stephenson, passed away on New Year's Day. Doug joined the Board of CFF in 2005, taking a leadership role in helping us refine our investment policy, finance our Dover facility, build our IT infrastructure and present our finances in "real time" using charts and graphs that made for easy interpretation. He was a great teacher and enthusiastic about what he cared about. He will be missed. We are grateful for his caring and dedication.
