​We're not standing by – we're stepping in.

We recognize the challenges within the foster care system – and we’re not standing by. We’re stepping in to address the gaps where it matters most – relational permanency, placement stability and a deep sense of belonging. Behind every statistic is a name, and behind every name is a story – and we will not stop until every single one is shaped by community, stability, and consistent, trusting relationships.

​There are over 2000 children experiencing foster care in Kern County right now.​
Picture
50% will experience homelessness, incarceration, or unemployment by age 21.
​
Picture
​3 out of 5 will struggle with mental health challenges.
​

Picture
Less than 50% of youth in foster care graduate high school by age 18.
​


​Real change happens when we look beyond the statistics and see the immense potential in every child.

Your investment fuels change and empowers people to walk alongside kids and families experiencing foster care and say: I’m here. You’re not alone. We’ll do this together.

We’re not standing by. We’re stepping in. And you can too.

​​The Impact: Nearly 5 Years of Transformative Work
For almost 5 years, we’ve stepped in providing stability, mentorship, and advocacy that directly impact long-term success. We’re not just offering resources; we’re facilitating life-changing relationships that create the social capital, support and guidance to change the trajectory of the lives of the children and youth experiencing foster care in Kern County.

This National Foster Care Awareness Month, help us write the next 5 years of hope-filled stories!

​​Your Role: How You Can Step In

Foster care isn’t just a system—it’s real lives, real stories, real futures on the line.

​​"The foster care system by itself doesn’t carry the load. There has to be additional help and input. That’s where Angels comes in. If it weren’t for Angels, the system would not work."
– Harry, Love Box® volunteer
