MAY IS NATIONAL FOSTER CARE MONTH

May is National Foster Care Month. We Care about foster care and are passionate about bringing awareness to this vulnerable and resilient community.⁣ So we're partnering with The Shop Forward, for the second year in a row, to spread awareness and encourage as many people as possible to wear and share their We Care shirts! A portion of the proceeds from these shirts will be donated back to National Angels, allowing the Love Box and Dare to Dream programs to further grow and expand across the nation.

ADDRESSING COVID-19

Our team here at Austin Angels has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and is saddened by the news coming from around the globe. To keep with shelter-in-place mandates and protect the health of our community, we are moving to virtual volunteering/mentoring (which we plan to transition back to in-person once things normalize). We are committed to helping preserve the relationships between our volunteers and families and our mentor and our mentees, as well as continue to make NEW matches, as children and families need support now more than ever. Our staff has been working hard to ensure we find creative, safe, and engaging methods of doing these. The ways we are able to interact with each other during this time are drastically different than what we are all used to, however, we are equipping ourselves, as well as our volunteers with tools, ideas, and knowledge to help them continue building relationships in this time of social distance.

MISSION STATEMENT:

The Austin Angels mission is to walk alongside children in the foster care system, as well as their caretakers, by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship.
