About Children's Fund:
- This year Children’s Fund has helped more than 53,000 children in San Bernardino County, bringing the total served since its inception in 1986 to more than 1.4 million children.
- Children’s Fund established an Emergency Needs Program, which provides at-risk children with items such as food, clothing, beds, rental and utility assistance, medical and dental care.
- Building partnerships is vital to Children’s Fund success in helping children. Sleep Innovation donated mattresses and pillows which we we provide to families that may not have beds for each of their children.
