Become a Resource Family

In Riverside County, approximately 4,500 children have been removed from their families because of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. These children need love, consistency, and commitment. They need you.

Foster Care Program

We are here to provide resource support and access to resources for foster parents, or resource parents, who need financial/medical assistance and training to care for a child.

Adoption/Legal Guardianship

Every child deserves a stable, safe, and supportive family where they are loved and appreciated for their uniqueness. We want every child to grow up in a happy home, and we wish that this always meant they should stay with their biological families.
