CEDARS Home for Children Foundation Charity Profile

This past year, CEDARS provided overnight care to a record number of children-over 800-in emergency shelter, foster care and youth homes. Through all of our services combined, 3,509 children and youth received quality care.

Mission: to help children who have been abused, neglected or homeless achieve safety, stability and enduring family relationships.

This incredible work is not done by us alone, it takes many partners working under this mission to truly be a resource in a child's or family's life that they will never, ever forget.

All of us who have worked hard to create this passionate organization can feel gratified we are making a positive difference in the lives of children. With each gift of your time or resources, and with every special intention, you are enabling the tradition of helping kids in crisis and fostering strong families to continue for the next 60 years. Helping children who have
abused, neglected or home
achieve safety, stability
and enduring family
relationships

CEDARS was founded in 1947 by the Reverend Charles and Alberta Danner, when they opened their home to homeless youth. In a newspaper article, Rev. Danner commented that if children had a place to call home and were not permitted to grow up on the streets, they could have a real childhood and plans for the future.

Remembering the Past... Celebrating the Present... Believing in the Future

Sixty years have now passed since that simple act of kindness. Rev. Danner's passion still lives on through CEDARS dedicated work today, even though one hard fact still remains — home is not safe for every child. Each day, drug use, criminal activity, extreme poverty, mental illness and neglect put children in harm's way. These children come to CEDARS desperately in need of a safe haven. Today, CEDARS celebrates continued success in improving the lives of children who have been abused, neglected or homeless.
