Who We Serve
At Children’s Hope Foster Family Agency, we are dedicated to providing compassionate care and support to children and youth in foster care. We serve a wide range of populations across Northern California—each with unique stories, strengths, and needs. Whether a child is entering care for the first time or transitioning to independence, we’re here to help them feel safe, supported, and empowered.
Children in Need of Loving Homes
Thousands of children enter foster care each year due to abuse, neglect, or family crisis. These children need more than shelter—they need consistency, encouragement, and care. We work closely with foster families to create stable, nurturing environments that help children heal and grow.
