Child and Family Services of Northwestern Michigan began life as a branch of the Michigan Children's Aid Society.  In 1891, Dr. Amos Barlow founded Michigan's first organization of the Federation of Aid Societies, with Articles of Incorporation filed in 1893.  The purpose was "to accept homeless, neglected, and destitute children," and "to find homes for them."
