Why Giving Matters to Maryvale’s Mission
Maryvale’s mission is to provide compassionate care and transformative support to children and families, regardless of their background or circumstances. Through our diverse programs, we aim to bridge gaps in critical services for some of the most vulnerable in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley.
Your donations are essential to sustaining and expanding this mission. They help fund specialized services, hire skilled staff, and maintain safe, welcoming facilities. With private donations, Maryvale can continue to meet the increasing demand for support while upholding the high standard of care we are known for.
With 168 years of history, Maryvale’s legacy speaks to its lasting impact. What started as a safe home for orphaned children has evolved into a comprehensive resource for families, offering programs ranging from behavioral health to early education. This growth has been made possible through community trust and contributions, which ensure Maryvale remains a steadfast source of support for generations to come.
How Donations Support Maryvale Programs
Early Childhood Education
Investing in early childhood education lays the foundation for lifelong success. Children who participate in quality programs are better prepared for school and future achievements. Maryvale’s early education program fosters this growth by providing children with a safe, structured environment to learn, socialize, and develop essential skills.
Donations directly impact Maryvale’s classrooms, funding quality learning materials, updated facilities, and highly trained educators. Research shows that early education leads to higher graduation rates and lower risks of future challenges. Your support helps create a nurturing environment where children can thrive from the very beginning.
Mental Health Services
Mental health challenges affect one in six U.S. youth aged 6 to 17, yet many communities lack access to adequate resources. Maryvale addresses this gap by offering trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family counseling, and other mental health services. These programs help children and families work through trauma, reduce anxiety, and build resilience.
With your support, Maryvale can continue to offer these critical services and expand access to new families. Donations enable us to hire licensed therapists, provide specialized training, and maintain facilities. Additionally, contributions support our intensive outpatient programs and behavioral therapy for youth in need.
Substance Use Services
Substance use can devastate families, and intervention is critical to breaking the cycle. Maryvale provides youth and families with evidence-based treatment options, helping them navigate recovery and rebuild healthier futures. Our programs focus on reducing harm, improving family dynamics, and supporting long-term success.
Donations allow us to expand these services, hire skilled specialists, and provide essential resources for those struggling with substance use. Your generosity directly supports families in their journey toward stability and healing.
Temporary Housing
For families facing homelessness, finding stability is often the first step toward rebuilding their lives. Maryvale’s temporary housing program offers safe, supportive environments for women and their children, providing not just shelter, but also access to essential resources like counseling, job readiness training, and parenting classes.
Your donations help us provide these families with more than a place to stay—they offer a chance to heal and grow. Contributions fund case management services, facility maintenance, and the expansion of temporary housing options to meet increasing demand.
