Today is Women's Equality Day — a day to honor how far we've come and recommit to how far we still need to go. 💜

So many of the parents we serve are women navigating child welfare systems, fighting for their families, and rebuilding their lives with extraordinary strength. Our Parent Advocacy programs pair them with staff who've walked that same road — because lived experience is one of the most powerful tools we have.

To every woman who has ever fought for her family: we see you. We're with you.

As the legislative session wraps up, we’re fighting to get more foster families access to child care. 🙌👇

Access to child care allows more children entering foster care to live with family members, experience fewer placement disruptions, and remain in school and work if an expectant or parenting foster youth has a child of their own. Our co-sponsored bill, SB 1051 (Menjivar), would expand the role of child care navigators to help connect families to child care more efficiently, ensuring foster families can access child care more quickly and reliably. Over the next two weeks, we’re fighting to get this critical bill to the Governor’s desk. 💪

We are overwhelmed with gratitude! 🙏

At this year's San Francisco Marathon, our incredible team of charity runners pushed through the miles and crossed finish lines, all in support of A Better Way. Together with their generous donors and our amazing corporate sponsors, they helped raise over $12,000 to provide children, youth, and families with the critical services they need and deserve.

Whether they ran the full marathon, half, 10K or 5K, every step counted and every dollar made a difference.

A heartfelt thank you to our corporate sponsors who made this possible:

🏆 Platinum Sponsors: Milanfar Law Firm, PC | Commercial Bank of California - NorCal
🥇 Gold Sponsor: Baker Tilly US - San Francisco

Your generosity fuels our work and changes lives. Thank you for believing in A Better Way. ❤️

What a day! 🎉 Our annual Summer Jam brought the 90s back in the BEST way and we are still smiling! This past Friday, 150 A Better Way employees and their families came together for a day packed with incredible food, music, activities, and so much joy. Seeing our ABW family show up and show out like this is a reminder of just how special this community truly is. Here's to the memories made, the connections strengthened, and the summers ahead. Thank you to everyone who came out and made this year's Summer Jam one for the books! 💛

🎒 Back to school season is here, and A Better Way is making sure our kids are ready!

This year our staff are distributing over 350 backpacks filled with school supplies to children and families across multiple counties. Every backpack that goes out the door means one more kid walking into the classroom prepared, confident, and supported.

Pictured here are Ebony and Charkeia from the Alameda County Mental Health program, picking up backpacks for clients. Scenes like this are happening all across our programs right now! 💙

A special thank you to Fostering Wishes for generously donating backpacks and supplies again this year. Your support makes such a real difference for the families we serve.

Here's to a great school year for all of our kids! 🎉
