100 Years Strong

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.
