Family Tree's primary mission is to assist in the recovery of missing, runaway children, youth and provide help to their families. Our aim is to provide services that will assist in the location and recovery of missing children as well as facilitate counseling support groups and ongoing therapy for missing children and their families.
We work to accomplish this through major searches, referrals and technical information exchanges. We also provide poster/picture dissemination, child identification program and a Prevention and Education program for our clients. Funding for program development and implementation would allow us to quickly become effective partners to many children, parents and law enforcement agencies in San Mateo County and other surrounding communities.
Family Tree partners with Giving Property to process real estate donations to benefit Family Tree and the community we serve. Our program takes any property type (land, homes, commercial) in any location so long as there is equity. Even if you owe back taxes, have a mortgage balance or have deferred maintenance, it's no problem. We will pay off all loans, liens, commissions owed and all closing costs. If you have a real estate asset that is costing you money or not being utilized, donating it is a great way to give back. You may even claim a significant tax deduction!
