The Children's Receiving Home is the safety net for the area's abused and neglected children between the ages of 1 and 17. As the only emergency shelter of its kind in Sacramento County, in effect; we act as the "front door" of the child protective system.
With a daily capacity of 98, we serve up to 1,800 children each year. As the crucial first link in the County's early intervention system, we provide proven strategies that stabilize, normalize, and produce improved long term outcomes for children.
If you'd like to make a difference in a child's life, please visit our How to Help section and check out our new Online Donation feature!
The Children's Receiving Home was established in 1944, through a joint effort of the Junior League of Sacramento and the Sacramento Rotary Club. Following several downtown locations in the early years, the Receiving Home relocated in 1965 to our permanent six acre campus at 3555 Auburn Boulevard in Sacramento at the corner of Watt and Auburn.
