Support HFS
Your donation today—whether large or small—makes a difference! Donations made will help us support our birthmothers with counseling and support services; will help a child join a loving family through one of our foster care, or domestic infant adoption programs; and will help us assist adoptive families and adoptees through their lifelong journey.
Thank you for your dedication to helping create families!
Ways to Support HFS
Make a Donation
The best way to support HFS is to donate online or by mailing a check, payable to HFS, to 840 Echo Park Ave., Los Angeles, CA. 90026.
For in-kind donations, please know that we are only allowed to accept brand-new items, not used items please. Please refer to our Amazon wishlist for more information.
Volunteer
You can make a difference in children and families’ lives by volunteering with HFS or by providing in-kind donations. We rely on our wonderful volunteers to help with many aspects of our operations. If you have a heart for children and want to contribute your time and talents to expand our efforts, we invite you to contact us to inquire about volunteering for HFS
Support Birth Mothers
At HFS, we have a birth parent fund that helps support our birth mothers financially while they are pregnant and recovering postpartum. This fund pays for very specific, pregnancy-related support (such as food, rent, utilities, clothing, medical costs and travel to appointments, social worker time with birth parents, and legal fees related to court termination of parental rights).
All of our adoptive parents pay into the fund, but donations support the fund to keep costs down for our families.
Outreach and Education
Young women in an unplanned pregnancy, potential adoptive and foster parents, and medical professionals are often unaware of the resources and support services available to them and their clients. HFS’ Outreach and Education team connects with the community and builds relationships by sharing an informed, clear, meaningful message about the option of adoption and our lifelong services. Your donation helps provide our community with this important information.
Special Gift for our Foster Youth
All children love the wonder and excitement of Christmas. Help provide a special gift under the tree to one or several of our foster youth. With your donation, our staff and volunteers will select a personal gift for our children in care.

Legacy Gifts
What could be more joyful than leaving a legacy that perpetuates your values? Consider a legacy gift to HFS Adoption & Foster Care when you are evaluating your personal, family, and financial needs as well as your long-term charitable giving. Bequests, Beneficiary Designations, Life Insurance, Securities. Gifts, both large and small, are important. Take the time to consider your options carefully and plan your gift in consultation with family, a lawyer, or a financial advisor. What legacy would you like to leave the world? Please contact us for more information.
Honor Someone with Tribute Gifts
Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to honor a friend, colleague, or loved one, while helping to continue the HFS mission. CELEBRATE a birthday or anniversary. HONOR a family member’s accomplishment! REMEMBER a loved one by making a donation in their memory. When you make a tribute gift, a personalized card will be sent to the person you wish to honor. In a memorial gift, the card is sent to the family of the individual being honored. This notification includes your name as the donor but does not include the amount of the gift.
To make a Tribute Gift, please contact us.
Donate Stocks
Donating stock instead of cash can be a smart way to express your generosity. You can donate long-term appreciated stock you’ve held for more than a year. Not only does your charity get to benefit from a valuable item, but you also get to claim the fair market value as an itemized deduction and avoid paying the capital gains tax that would result if you sold it and donated the cash. A simple, yet effective strategy.
To make a gift of stock, please contact your Financial Advisor and provide the following information for the receiving brokerage firm:
