At Brush Hair + Makeup, we're more than just pretty - making every effort to ensure our clients feel the love and feel beautiful is what really puts the bubbles in our champagne.  Whether its a big night out or walking into her 9-5, we want our Brush Babe to feel radiant, lovely, and confident every step of the way.

Founded in 2016 by Elizabeth Werts. Brush has been a labor of love. Our beautiful salon has been meticulously designed and styled for a luxurious, relaxing experience as you are placed in the skilled hands of our highly trained, passionate, and creative hair stylists and makeup artists, who you can meet here.      

Caritas Family Solutions is a nonprofit social services agency that works to meet the physical, social, and emotional needs of vulnerable people in Southern Illinois, from before birth through the golden years. We believe our community is strengthened when every person in it has a loving home and can create healthy relationships.

What We Do

• We are a hands-on organization that provides real, in-person care and services to people who need to get out of an unhealthy situation and into a healing environment.
• We match babies and children to parents wanting to adopt. We provide pregnancy care to women who choose adoption.
• We care for children the state removes from abusive homes and place them with our personally-selected and vetted foster parents. If a child has experienced too much trauma to be successful in foster care, we care for them personally at St. John Bosco Children’s Center.
• When families struggle and are on the edge of falling apart, we work to heal them, keeping their children in the home.
• We help low-income seniors find assisted living where they can enjoy community.
• We help developmentally disabled adults live with dignity and independence in homes within our communities.

The mission of the Catholic Children's Home is to aid, protect, and care for the needs, education, and welfare of dependent, neglected, abused or otherwise hurting children and families without regard to poverty, riches, race, religion, or national origin. · 

• More than 100 years of caring.
• Established in 1879 by the Precious Blood Sisters of Ruma, Illinois.
• Continuing mission of attending to all needs of children in care away from their home.
• Dynamic programming, updated to best meet the changing needs of communities and families.
• Future programs planned to provide answers for more children in crisis.
