Help At-Risk Kids Stay in Their Communities

In Los Angeles County alone, the foster care population exceeds 33,000 children. Within the local foster care program, 200 of those foster children are waiting for an adoptive family and place to call home.

Many of these foster youth are siblings in need of a resource family that is willing and able to keep them together. Because the number of foster kids in need of care exceeds the number of foster family applicants available, our foster care agency is forced to turn away 10+ sibling sets weekly. We wish this weren’t the case.

Our team at All For Kids works to strengthen at-risk families and local communities so that every child can grow up safe, nurtured and full of life. We empower you to make a difference in your own communities by becoming a foster parent.

Help local at-risk youth by giving them a home that’s familiar, nearby, and inclusive to their foster siblings. You have the opportunity to change a child’s life.
