we support the whole family

​Our Love Box® program provides community and holistic support to fostering families, including caregivers, children experiencing foster care, and biological/adopted children. This wrap-around support empowers caregivers to continue to do the important and meaningful work of being foster parents.

​Each Love Box® volunteer/group will be matched with a local foster family based on location and compatibility. When our families are matched with committed volunteers who show up monthly, parents feel supported, and children gain a greater sense of normalcy, relational permanency, and self-confidence. This support also leads to increased placement stability, reducing the high rate of turnover that often occurs in the foster care system.

Transforming Lives Through
​Stronger Relationships

After years of receiving anecdotal feedback attesting to the effectiveness of our programming, National Angels contracted with the University of Texas at Austin, Texas Institute for Child & Family Wellbeing (TXICFW) to measure our impact of transformation across our programs. Our Love Box® program shows:

9.7
Caregivers gave an average score of 9.7 out of 10 for the Love Box® Program.

92%
of caregivers reported that Angels staff gives them the resources, tools, and strategies to help them care for their family.

94%
of Love Box® volunteers indicated that their matched family/youth had made a positive impact on their own lives.

100%
of caregivers agreed or strongly agreed that Angels staff treats them with respect.

60%
of Love Box® volunteers consider their matched family/youth to be a part of their social circle/community.

National Angels will continue to test, measure, and analyze customer-driven data to build evidence of service effectiveness to improve our programs and the lives we have the privilege of walking alongside.

Program Safety & Diversity

Protecting children, youth, and families experiencing foster care is our highest priority. That’s why fingerprinting and rigorous screening are required for every staff member and volunteer before they are matched and serve in our Love Box and Dare to Dream programs.

​Our thorough vetting process includes:
Fingerprinting (FBI, state DOJ, and local court checks)
State and federal background checks
Registry screening (child abuse, sex offender, and related registries)
DMV and Social Security number verification
Personal interviews and reference checks
Annual renewal of all clearances

This commitment ensures every person walking alongside a child or family is trustworthy, qualified, and dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment.

We support children, youth, and families, and welcome volunteers and staff from all backgrounds within our local community. We value diversity and do not discriminate on the basis of religion, marital status, ethnicity, age, financial position, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
