“The purpose of the Redwood Empire Foster Parent Association of Sonoma County (REFPA) is to support and assist foster care providers so that they may be more effective advocates for the children they serve.”

REFPA is a non-profit organization consisting of foster parents, community members, and Sonoma County social workers.

• We assist foster parents by offering resources, advocacy and emotional support.

 

• We assist foster parents and their foster children by providing social and enrichment opportunities.

• We sponsor fundraising projects to support our programs.
