Rebekah Childrens Services

Organization Description

Rebekah Children's Services mission of being committed to seeing our community flourish by building pathways to hope, happiness and well-being began in 1897 when the California Rebekah and Odd Fellow organization founded The Odd Fellow-Rebekah Children's Home of California in Gilroy. The organization operated as an orphanage until the 1950's, providing a home for orphaned children.

Today, Rebekah Children's Services is the last operating Odd-Fellow Children's Home in the nation. Our community-based organization has cared for the most vulnerable members of our communities, while adapting to the changing needs of those we serve. Today, RCS is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation that offers a full continuum of family-centered services including mental and behavioral health services, foster care and adoption, and educational services, to promote the healthy development of children and families.
