Fostering Hope, Fulfilling Dreams!

Each year over 1,000 children in San Joaquin County find themselves in Foster Care due to neglect, abuse or abandonment.  The Mary Graham Children's Shelter Foundation is a private non-profit 501 (c)3 organization formed by local concerned individuals to given support to our foster youth, picking up were their other systems of support leave off. 

Our foster youth start off thier childhood with difficulties no child should have to face, and unfortunately, their transition into adulthood can be just as difficult.  On their 18th birthday, our foster youth are processed out of the foster care system, and are pretty much on thier own in the world...on thier own with no financial support, no parents to fall back on, and with limited education and job skills.  Your support of our foundation makes a life-changing difference in these children's abilitiy to successfully transition out of care and into life on their own.

The Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that these children are made to feel supported and cared for throughout their time as foster youth, with the ultimate goal of seeing these youth through to a successful transition from the foster care system to life on their own as adults.  

Please join us and invest in the kids futures!  Your donation can change lives.
