Hillsides
http://www.hillsides.org/

Hillsides creates safe places for children; strengthens families; provides special education; and advocates for children's rights.

From its inception in 1913 as an Episcopal Orphanage, The Church Home for Children, until its present-day status as a private, non-profit treatment center, Hillsides has never wavered from its commitment to creating a safe place for children. Although it began as an orphanage, Hillsides now works to end the cycle of abuse that destroys children and tears families apart. Loving care, therapeutic healing, special education, family crisis intervention and children's rights advocacy are at the heart of the agency's mission. These priorities were created by the vision of Deaconess Evelyn Wile. At Hillsides, children suffering from abuse and mental illness can still find a "safe place" to call home. Today, Hillsides is considered an official institution of the Los Angeles Diocese of the Episcopal Church.

Children in residence are referred to Hillsides by the Dependency Division of the Los Angeles Superior Court. Although they come from all over Southern California and encompass every ethnic and socioeconomic group, they share a common experience - the emotional scars that result from abuse. With counseling and mental health treatment, children at Hillsides learn that they are not alone, that they are safe and cared for. Four programs constitute the framework for Hillsides' treatment services-Residential Treatment, the Education Center, the Family Center and Advocacy.

Camp Ronald McDonald
http://www.campronaldmcdonald.org

Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times® was founded in 1982 by a group of caring individuals who dreamed of a place where children, who have had their lives devastated by childhood cancer, could laugh, sing, enjoy the outdoors, make new friends and recapture what being a child is supposed to be. In August of 1982 this dedicated group of parents, doctors, nurses and community leaders and a willing group of volunteer counselors set off with sixty kids to Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, and conducted the first Camp Good Times ever.

Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times® is a program of the Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Southern California, a not for profit organization founded in 1977 to build the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House®. The Ronald McDonald House® provides help, comfort and a place to stay for the families of young patients undergoing treatment at nearby Children's Hospitals. Additional projects of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California, besides Camp and the L.A. Ronald McDonald House®, are the Ronald McDonald Houses® of Orange County Pasadena, and Loma Linda.
