aboutus

There are over 800 kids in foster care in Stanislaus County.

Every number has a name.

Every name has a story.

​

The Kids Program is dedicated to making sure children throughout Stanislaus County feel loved. Our main focus is on supporting children in foster care and resource families as well as educating the public on how they can best support youth in the foster care system.

The Kids Program works directly with County Child Welfare to identify the specific needs of foster children and their families. With this list of needs, we have inspired hundreds of community members who have stepped up to help. Through this framework, we have been able to keep birth families together and children out of the system which ultimately increases the health of these kids overall.

Delivery
VOLUNTEER

The Kids Program receives furniture donations on a frequent basis.  We are looking to create a team of volunteers willing to help deliver these items to families in need. There is no mandatory time commitment, just help when you are available!

Testimonials

We are so grateful for the generous and long-standing support of our partners. In addition to financial support, you can get involved by donating items, volunteering at events, and helping us love on kids across Stanislaus County.

"Without the Kids Program, I would have nothing. I would still be gathering items for my home and my family in order to reunify. I feel very blessed."
