Our History
The Children’s Receiving Home was founded in 1944 through a cooperative effort of
the Junior League of Sacramento and the Rotary Club of Sacramento. Previously at
two other locations, the Children’s Receiving Home has been located at its current
site since 1965, on six acres of land deeded to the agency by the City of Sacramento.
The Children’s Receiving Home recently underwent major renovation and addition of
cottages and multipurpose building made possible through the generosity of donors
in our area. Today the Receiving Home houses up to 98 children on a beautiful, state of the art facility.
