IMAGINE A CALIFORNIA WHERE PEOPLE LOVE THEIR NEIGHBORS.What would our state be like if instead of responding to poverty, brokenness, hate, and second chances with fear and neglect, we chose compassion and hope? Would it be contagious if a group of Californians could turn their values into actions, and follow the example Jesus set by truly caring for others?Serving California is a foundation committed to the possibility that we can build a community of empathy for those who are struggling and provide them with resources to transcend their situations. Our programs place a special emphasis on ex-offenders who want to rebuild their lives, crime victims and veterans and their families.We support a network of exceptional partner organizations by providing funding and other management resources to assist them in creating and expanding high quality, solution-based, transformational programs. We serve as a catalyst and capacity-builder for work that promotes rehabilitation and transformation in the lives of inmates who are committed to becoming productive, contributing citizens. We also support healing and recovery for those who have experienced crime and provide care and restoration for veterans who have served our nation.
