Ways to Give

Sierra is committed to providing every resource available to help youth find permanency. Removing children from the foster care system and placing them with permanent loving families helps:

Break the cycle of abuse, poverty and homelessness
Provide a loving and nurturing environment for a child
Save the community approximately $75,000 annually per child placed into permanency out of foster care
Benefit everyone by building and strengthening families and communities
Enhance a child’s quality of life

We need your help!
