About Us

At One Family Illinois, we are dedicated to providing safe, stable, and loving homes by keeping siblings together in individual homes with full-time, professional Foster Parents. This foundation helps rebuild trust, confidence, and hope for the children in our care.

For over 30 years, One Family Illinois has delivered exceptional care to Illinois’ most vulnerable children and families as the first self-funded SOS organization in the U.S. We continue the successful legacy of SOS-Kinderdorf International while pioneering programs that support youth into adulthood and empower parents to achieve family reunification.

Why One Family Illinois?

At One Family Illinois we are committed to keeping brothers and sisters in foster care together by providing safe, stable, and loving homes. We do this by offering an innovative approach to traditional foster care. Our model of care provides a private, single-family home, access to a community center, and support from professionally trained Foster Parents and staff. With this, the children we serve benefit from the stability of remaining with their siblings as well as the support of neighboring OFI Foster Parents and the entire community.
