Redwood Community Services, Inc. (RCS) is a non‐profit, organization serving children and families in Mendocino, Lake and Sonoma Counties. Incorporated in October 1995, RCS began as a Foster Family Agency with a vision to grow and expand services to children and families in our communities. RCS has grown into a multi‐program “Family Service Agency”. Our purpose is to provide placement, permanency, counseling and community service options for children through a family sensitive, child focused, strength based approach to care. Our goal is to strengthen families and empower our communities’ most vulnerable children through programs and services that benefit in building a healthy and whole community…one child and one family at a time.
