ABOUT

Stewards is a nonprofit that works with vulnerable individuals in Kern County through connection to social services, resources, and acting as an appointed representative payee service.

Most of our clients are dealing with mental disabilities, and many have co-occurring disorders. Managing living decisions and day-to-day finances can be a challenge for many of these individuals and they do not have a relative or a close friend that can act on their behalf. Our role is to come alongside these individuals and help them steward their life.

As a faith-rooted nonprofit, we recognize the worth and dignity of every individual, no matter their circumstance. With over 20 years experience, we are committed to providing trustworthy financial counsel, excellent stewardship guidance, social service resources for food and housing, and compassionate support to help people stay safe, become successful, and achieve their dreams.

We want to guide our clients with care and compassion to help them steward and navigate their life. We care most that our clients are safe, off the streets, their basic needs being met, and they have a plan for a brighter future.
