Your donation has a direct impact
AFS works with an annual average of 1,500 foster children and youth in nine Northern California counties. Here are some ways your financial donation can help:
$50 provides approximately 150 miles worth of transportation costs
$100 provides 3 hours of tutoring for one foster child
$350 allows 20 foster youth to get a new backpack and school supplies
$1,000 allows 70 packs of diapers for the more than 200 foster babies and small children in foster care
Volunteer
"The Wish Upon a Wreath campaign allowed me to give gifts to a sibling group placed just before Christmas. It let the children know that people do know and care about them."
