In the Central Valley over 5,900 kids are currently experiencing foster care, and many of them have been impacted by trauma. Although we do not know all of these children to be orphaned in the modern sense, the Hebrew term “orphan” as it was used to describe a lonely and vulnerable child in Biblical text, still stands today. We have a vision that the Central Valley will become a community known to prioritize and advocate for our most vulnerable youth and the adults who care for them.
