The mission of The Homes for Children is to provide hope and healing to troubled youth who are at-risk, abused and neglected so they can become independent, productive adults.Warehouse office
Homes for Children is in urgent need of financial support to sustain and expand our services for youth aging out of foster care. These young adults rely on us for stable housing, life skills training, and critical support as they transition to independence. We are also in need of a sprinter van to help with donation pickups and deliveries, which are vital to meeting the daily needs of our program participants. Community partners, sponsors, and in-kind donors play a crucial role in helping us continue this life-changing work.
At Homes for Children, we are committed to advancing equity by creating inclusive, supportive environments where all youth, regardless of race, gender, background, or life circumstance, have access to the resources, opportunities, and support they need to thrive. We believe that every young person deserves a fair chance at success, and we intentionally work to dismantle barriers and systems of inequality that disproportionately impact youth aging out of foster care. Through our programs and partnerships, we strive to uplift underrepresented voices, promote justice, and build a more equitable future for all.
