MAKS Corp.
NonprofitMAKS Corp. is a non-profit 501c3 organization located in Northwest Indiana that provides personal care and comfort items for local foster children in need. We focus on providing personal care items to children after removal from their homes to ensure they have what they need while they transition to a new placement. We then provide anything from clothing to furniture to help keep them comfortable in their placements, and continue to provide for foster children while they transition to their permanent placements, whether at home or with foster parents. In the end our goal is to help the Department of Child Services (DCS) ensure our foster children have what they need.

Campagna Academy
Children end up in foster care typically because of the need to remove them from their biological family due to abuse (physical, sexual and emotional), neglect or abandonment. Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) includes placement of youth ages 0-19 in licensed foster care homes equipped to deal with serious levels of emotional, behavioral, developmental and medical problems. The primary difference from Therapeutic Foster Care and Traditional Foster Care is that the youth require more intensive clinical and medical intervention that cannot be accommodated in traditional foster care. Campagna’s Therapeutic Foster Care program provide services that support various permanency plans including adoption, family reunification and/or independent living. The services provided through Campagna's TFC Program includes Intensive Case Management, On-Site Nursing Staff, Therapy and Psychiatric Services, Respite and 24/7 Crisis Intervention Support.
