100 Years of Caring for Our Community
Join us as we celebrate a century of support for children, families, and communities, and step into the next 100 years together.
100 Years Strong
A Legacy Built on Care, Commitment, and Community
What began in 1926 as a small group of determined women supporting young mothers has grown into a trusted leader in mental health and family services across the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys.
Today, Foothill Family serves more than 25,000 individuals each year through early childhood development, school-based therapy, family support services, and community-centered care.
100 Years
A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Honoring the Past. Building the Future.
As we celebrate 100 years of Foothill Family, we honor the resilience, compassion, and commitment that have guided our work since 1926. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a trusted source of care for thousands of children and families each year.
This centennial is not only a reflection on where we’ve been, but a commitment to where we are going — together.

MOMENTS THAT MATTER
Gabrielle’s Journey
Gabrielle, 19, was 26 weeks pregnant with her first child when she came to Foothill Family, looking for support and guidance. With her Family Support Specialist, she learned newborn care, built a birth plan, and practiced stress management tools. After giving birth, Gabrielle felt empowered making decisions for herself and her daughter and is using coping skills and support resources like WIC.
With support, every parent can feel confident.
