Since 1985 FosterHope Sacramento has been providing services for El Dorado, Placer, San Joaquin, Yolo and Sacramento Counties. For over 35 years FosterHope has directly impacted the lives of youth and families within the greater Sacramento region providing care, community and support. FosterHope’s vision is to help heal the effects of trauma and end the cycle of abuse, and poverty, by building on the strengths of children and families so they find safety, hope, and success in life.

As a California licensed, 501(c)(3) nonprofit Foster Family Agency (FFA), we engage with children, youth, and families every day to learn about their needs and to foster hopes, dreams, connection, and community. Through providing an array of foster care and family support services we are able to help children, youth, and families achieve stability and success by providing opportunities for support and connection tailored to their needs and strengths. 

FosterHope serves a diverse population of youth ranging from infancy to adulthood between the ages of (0-21) and their families. We work with youth impacted by both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems; specializing in youth with complex trauma histories. 


Mission

Our mission is to provide support to children, teens, and families and facilitate healing of the spirit, mind, and body to help them reach their fullest potential.

Needs

FosterHope has a goal of increasing the number of qualified homes available to meet the needs of youth in the greater Sacramento Region and reducing placement disruption. Support us in the following ways to help reach our goal!

- Make a Financial Contribution

On the heels of our end of year campaign, we are continuing to raise funds to support our Creating Community program to provide essential community-based services that fill the gaps that exist within our child welfare systems and meet the more specific needs of our youth and families.

- Donate Time & Talent

We also rely on people power and the talents of our community to make this possible. Please reach out to us if you are interested in contributing time and volunteering with us to help us deliver these impactful programs and services that affect positive change in the lives of many.

- Become a Resource Parent

We are always recruiting for Resource Families to become a part of our FosterHope community and welcome youth into their homes. We are specifically looking for Resource Parents who can support teens, sibling sets, and youth with intensive care needs. Contact us to sign up for our next info session.

- In-Kind Support

We also accept in-kind donations of clothing, books, toys, and gift cards throughout the year. Our most requested gift cards are for Amazon and Target.

- Run to FosterHope!

Join us at FosterHope Sacramento's 3rd annual Run to FosterHope on Saturday, May 18th, to support our community-based programs that help stabilize and support children and youth in crisis, while providing hope for a better future and celebrate Foster Care Awareness Month.
