Hephzibah Children's Association is a nonprofit child welfare organization based in Oak Park, Illinois, founded in 1897. Serving Chicago and Cook County, it operates Hephzibah Home, a diagnostic clinical residential program for children ages 3 to 12 who have suffered extreme abuse or neglect. In addition to residential care, the agency provides foster care, family support, and adoption services. Its Day Care program in Oak Park offers after-school and summer day camp care for students in grades K through 5 on a sliding fee scale. Guided by a mission to help children thrive and families flourish through community-based programs, the organization participates in the broader field of individual and family services. A recent development noted in its communications is the 2026 Heart of Gold Ball, an event aimed at recognizing progress and raising funds to sustain care across its programs.
