About Us
A Brighter Childhood Foster Family Services, Inc. (ABC) is a private non-profit 501(c)3 corporation serving our community in Sacramento, CA and outlying counties. Since our organization opened its doors in 2006, we have cared for over a thousand children and youths (ages 0-21) in family homes throughout the region. Our staff is committed to the family partnerships we forge and strive to enrich the lives of the youth under our care. 

In our community, we also have homes for our parenting teens and for our non-minor dependents ages 18-21. We coach and mentor our non-minor dependents to become independent adults while attending college, earning their H.S. diploma, and work experiences.  

We take pride in our personal relationships with each of our family homes and our youths. The delicate process of matching a child to a family is at the heart of what we do. ABC values the birth family, foster family, staff, placing agencies, and the community as partners in caring for our children. Everyone is treated as family.
