About Us: Foster Care and Adoption services that help children and families thrive
Foster care and adoption services served as the early foundation of our work with children and families. In 1995, Delta Community Supports, Inc., a non-profit serving people with disabilities, founded a new division called Delta Family Services. Today Delta Family Services LLC operates independently, serving hundreds of children and families, too! Our work extends to Philadelphia, Montgomery and Delaware Counties. Delta programs have also expanded to include evidence-based programs for teens. Plus, we now offer educational options for youth in care.
Our Mission and History
Our mission is to serve the needs of children to grow, learn and mature in a safe and loving environment. Delta is dedicated to strengthening and preserving loving relationships in the life of a child which are found in a strong supportive family context. Our services are characterized by creative, innovative and flexible supports for children and families.
In 2014, we became PA’s first authorized provider of the Wyman Center’s Teen Outreach Program (TOP).
In 2020, Delta became one of only four agencies in PA approved to provide foster care in specialized settings.
Our Vision
Delta is dedicated to strengthening and preserving loving relationships throughout a child’s life. These relationships are found in a strong supportive family context. We offer creative, innovative, and flexible supports for children and families.

Our Programs Get High Youth Ratings
SIL Program alumna Iiana says, ” I never knew my life would come this far and [through SIL] I got connected with so many great people that can help one another. SIL made me more independent about life and more aware of a lot of life situations/lessons.”
“Delta has been really supportive through every aspect of my life,” says Rasheeda, an alumna of our Supervised Independent Living program for older youth in foster care.
