For over 50 years, La Familia Counseling Center, Inc. has been a vital part of the Sacramento community, dedicated to meeting it’s involving needs. We pride ourselves on fostering trust by delivering valuable services in a compassionate and professional manner. Each year, we engage with over 10,000 community members, through our various programs and events, including our Family Resource Center, our Youth Voice program, our Health and Mental Health Wellness services, our Career Center, our Older Adult Programs and our signature events such as our Halloween celebration, Posada, Christmas “Adopt a Child” and our Summer Youth program.
La Familia meets the community where they are and is committed to offering programs and services that go beyond grant funding, such as our free summer lunch program with activities, Karate Classes, After School Programs, Kids Club, Girl Scout Group, Club Excel, and other special services for children and families.
The funds from the Big Day of Giving help support our unfunded Summer Lunch Program. Thanks to your support, in 2024 we were able to serve nearly 200 children, providing nutritious meals and enriching activities, to ensure they have a summer filled with learning and fun. Your generosity fuels our mission, and together, we can continue making a positive impact! Thank you for your ongoing support!

Needs
For over 10 years, La Familia Counseling Center, Inc. has been offering Summer Youth Program for the youth of community. This program, like many other of our programs, isn’t funded by grants but relies on the kindness of supporters like you. As we have received a high number of inquiries, we anticipate a large group of youth this year! Our schedule is filled with fun and exciting activities including arts and crafts, STEM projects, sports, water play, games and much more.
With your help, we’re also able to offer high school students’ internships as camp counselors, providing them valuable work experience and hands-on training. Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 to serve over 200 youth! Your contribution ensures that each youth enjoys six week of nutritious meals and enriching activities. Your support can make the difference in a child’s life.
Thank you once again for your generosity! Together, we can truly make a difference! Juntos Podemos! (Together We Can!)
