About The Foundation

Esther Snyder and her son Rich established the In-N-Out Burger Foundation to give children hope. Inspired by Esther’s belief that every child deserves a chance and a future, and driven by the family’s own encounter with child abuse, the Foundation supports programs of prevention and assistance to make that future a reality.

Esther and Rich

Organization Spotlight

St Anne's

For more than 115 years Anne‘s Family Services has focused on families; what began as a maternity home for “unwed mothers” has evolved into a premier social services agency – the only one in Los Angeles County that focuses on parenting youth who are in, or who have experienced, foster care. We offer supportive housing, early childhood education, mental health services, and community-based services, with the intention of keeping families together and away from more systems.

What is child abuse?

Child abuse is when a parent or caregiver, whether through action or failing to act, causes injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child. There are many forms of child maltreatment, including neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation and emotional abuse.

With your help, we can help prevent the unconscionable act of child abuse, and change the startling facts that go with it.  Together, let’s help give a voice, and a chance, to abused children everywhere.
