We are proud to announce that Lilliput Families has won this year’s “Best of Citrus Heights Chamber” in the “Social Services” category! Thank you to everyone who voted for us.
Amber Foster from Style Magazine in Roseville interviewed our very own Karen Alvord, the CEO of Lilliput Families here in Citrus Heights. Karen has been a mother since she was 24 years old, when her and her husband Scott Alvord adopted 4 children.
Of the 64,000 children in the foster care system in California, less than three percent are in the adoption phase. This year, the system is undergoing changes that may help more kids find a stable home life.
As CEO of Lilliput Families, Karen has spent the past 10 years building the organization to what is now the largest non-profit foster adoption agency in Northern California with an operating budget of $12 million, annually.
Lilliput pays 100 percent of the cost of employee health insurance, which includes acupuncture and chiropractic services. On work anniversaries, a supervisor will take the employee out to lunch.
