About
Orangewood Children's Foundation was founded in 1981,
by a concerned group of private citizens and community leaders.
The Orange wood Children's Foundation raised money for
the construction of the Orangewood Children's Home,
which was donated to the County of Orange.
The Home is Orange County's only emergency
shelter for neglected and sexually, physically or
emotionally abused children. The Home provides refuge
each year for about 2700 children who have been removed
from their caretakers by police officers or child
protective services workers and placed into protective custody.
Mission
The mission of Orangewood Children's Foundation is to
end the cycle of child abuse by providing innovative programs focused on:
- Prevention – Strengthening at-risk families to prevent abuse before it starts
- Care – Supporting children in foster care and at the Orangewood Children's Home
- Emancipation – Successfully transitioning foster teens into independent adulthood
- Public Awareness – Inspiring involvement from the community
