Making the dream of a better life a reality.
For almost 100 years, Aviva Family and Children’s Services has reached out across Los Angeles’ many communities providing quality comprehensive social services to meet the needs of changing times and a diverse population.
We continue to transform lives every day, but before children and their families can turn to us, we must turn to our supporters. With your gift, we can fulfill our daily mission to provide a safe home for an abused and neglected child; a quality learning environment for an at-risk teen; affordable child care for a struggling single mom; and counseling for a family that needs to overcome the pain of incest or domestic violence.
Thank you for your interest in making the dream of a better life a reality for Aviva’s children and families in crisis.

Planned gift vehicles are used to build long-term stability at Aviva Family and Children’s Services so that generations to come can continue to benefit from your kindness and generosity.
