Celebrating 50 years of serving families in our community!
Watch Our Story!
United Services for Children is marking a major milestone – and we want you to be part of it! Join us in celebrating 50 years of serving the children and families of our community. Since 1975, United Services for Children has empowered more than 10,000 children with developmental disabilities and delays. Our therapy, early intervention, and family support programs have helped children of all abilities reach their full potential. In this video, former United Services staff and alumni reflect on how the agency has shaped their lives and the community at large. This anniversary video was produced, filmed and edited by a team of Webster University students. Thank you to these amazing students for showcasing our organization’s history, growth and mission!!

Be Part of Our 50th Anniversary Celebration!
We don’t intend to celebrate our anniversary alone! You are invited! We’re hosting a series of special events throughout 2025—each reflecting the spirit of our anniversary in a unique and meaningful way. From nostalgic throwbacks to family celebrations and community awareness, there’s something for everyone as we honor our past and look toward the future. We kicked off the celebration in April with our 1970s-themed trivia night, Rewind to 1975, followed by our 30th annual golf tournament, FORE the Children, in May. More exciting events are on the way, so check back for updates! We look forward to seeing you!
