Welcome to Friends of Foster Children (FOFC)! We have been serving foster children in the San Gabriel Valley since 1976. We are always looking for new members to join us and help make a foster child's life a little brighter.
About FOFC
FOFC is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization. We have no paid staff and no facility, so less than 6% of our annual budget is spent on operating costs. A total of 94% of every donated dollar is applied to the children's needs.
Various fundraisers and gift collections throughout the year are designed to help foster children in residential treatment centers in the San Gabriel Valley. We also assist newly emancipated foster teens as they learn to set up their own homes, continue their education, and begin their journey of being self-supporting.
Who Do We Support?
We support a variety of residential treatment centers at different levels. Some receive assistance all year while others are only at Christmas time. The centers are as follows:
- Bienvenidos
- Ettie Lee Youth & Family Services
- Foster/Kinship Care Education & Independent Living Programs at PCC
- Hathaway-Sycamore Child & Family Services
- Helen Evans Home
- Hillsides
