  • Help a kid see all they can be by becoming a foster parent.

  • If you are passionate about helping children, find your fit on our team.

  • Make an impact by giving a gift today.

For a child, belief starts small.

With a community. A family. 

Someone to believe in them, growing their trust in the world. 

But when adversity or trauma forces them to grow up too soon, they begin to lose that sense of belief. 

They come to know a world where safety and stability are conditional.  

At CEDARS, we show them it doesn’t have to be that way. 

Since 1947, we’ve been here. 

Choosing not to ignore challenges. Adapting to fit the need. 

Helping rebuild trust in relationships. And finding solutions for kids and families, no matter the circumstances. 

It’s the driving force behind everything we do. 

Because we believe in them. 

Unconditionally.

What CEDARS Foster Youth Are Saying

Each year we give surveys to individuals and families impacted by CEDARS. In January we asked foster youth ages 4 and up what they wanted to tell us about their foster families. Here are a few things they said:

1. They are nice and caring people that are trying to help me change.
2. They are awesome and Pete is too!
3. They treat me like their own, but better!
4. It's really chill and I feel safe around them.
5. Our foster family loves me very much and I am grateful to have them in my life!
6. Karen cares about me. She treats me like family!
7. I'm happy being homeschooled by nana and our family rules game night.
8. She's my grandma. I like living with my brother.
9. Please let me live here forever!
10. They are awesome, loving, and caring.
