community center

Since 2010, Austin Angels has set out to change the way children, youth, and families experience foster care.

Every year, Austin Angels impacts thousands of lives in the foster care community. Our programs have expanded and our reach has grown nationwide, but we still have many kids and families to reach! As we have grown, so has our need for a larger space; a place where we can serve families and support current and future Angels chapters.

In an effort to grow towards the goal of reaching and serving every child, youth, and family experiencing foster care in the U.S., Austin Angels bought an abandoned church in early 2022. This space sits on 2.5 acres of land and is full of possibilities! Our hope is to convert the old and outdated space into a state-of-the-art Foster Care Community Center.
​
Designed for both fun and function, the nearly 6,000 sq. ft. center  will be a transformational space! The center will serve as a safe haven and gathering place for the local foster care community. We will offer free programming, enrichment events, workshops and celebrations, including: spring break camp, summer camp, fall festivals, holiday parties, mother and father night outs, and more!  It will also serve as a public visitation center for children in our programs and their biological families.

Additionally, it will provide a site that can be utilized by other foster care nonprofit organizations for collaborative efforts. Our vision is to create a flourishing space, built for everyone, that thoughtfully cultivates hope, community, empowerment, curiosity, and transformation.

With an estimated cost of $400 per square foot, we expect the renovation budget to be approximately $2.4 million, plus an additional $300,000 for landscaping and a playground.

​Generous support from people like you will be the determining factor in this dream becoming a reality. Join us in building a center that will have a lasting and positive impact on our foster community for generations to come! Your donation now means ongoing hope, community, and love for kids and families.

EXPLORE OUR FUTURE Foster Care Community Center
The center will provide a positive and welcoming environment for thousands of children, youth, and families throughout the year. Through the programs and services offered at the center, they will be equipped with important tools and resources.

​Think of the center as a warm hug and a place of belonging; somewhere that feels like home to everyone who enters!
