FOFC is busy working as Santa’s elves at the Sugar Plum Tree at The Shops at Santa Anita. If you want to participate, but can’t make it to the Mall, you can still give in a variety of different ways.
First, if you want to support Sugar Plum and the ongoing activities of the organization all year long, click on the red “Donate” button in the top right hand corner of the page. Another option is to donate through Venmo. You can use the following QR Code to make a donation.
If you want the convenience of shopping online, please find a TARGET link for a "wish list" of items for the support homes and children.
Each child will receive at least one of the gifts they request. It is heartwarming to see the generosity people have for children they have never met. This is truly the magic of Christmas!
We are so appreciative and thankful for all the support.

HEAR MORE FROM CHEYENNE
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.
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.
