Meeting Sponsor for August 19 - Children's Receiving Home of Sacramento

At the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento, we believe that every child deserves a safe place and every child has a life worth living.  We are dedicated to providing services to improve the safety, stability and well-being of children, their families and the community. By helping to take care of the needs of these children, you are investing in their future. Their journey to healing starts the moment they walk through our doors and continues throughout their lives.

Founded in 1944, the Children’s Receiving Home is an independent, non-profit organization positively impacting the lives of children, youth and families affected by abuse, neglect, behavioral health issues and trauma by providing a safe haven of comfort, hope and healing. Each year CRH provides emergency refuge to over 1,000 children in the shelter and Outpatient Mental Health program. In addition to 24-hour residential and shelter care, CRH provides comprehensive assessments, medical assistance, counseling and social-work services, on-site and community based mental health programs, an independent living program for emancipating youth (ILP), a pilot program called Residentially Based Services (RBS) that focuses on reuniting youth and families, a multi grade on-site public school, activities, recreation and a child/family visitation center. 

Children in our program are assisted by peer and adult systems of support that challenge them to make the most of their talents, foster their aspirations and develop their capacity to assume ever-greater responsibility for the direction of their own lives. There is no other program like this in our community. The impact we make in the lives of the children we serve is only made possible through the generosity of the community.
