FAITH PARTNERSHIPS
Our goal is for every child, youth, and family in care in the 13 counties of Greater Houston to be served by a supportive, caring, and committed Love Box leader or Dare to Dream mentor. There are many ways that your faith community can help us make that dream become a reality!
HOW YOUR FAITH COMMUNITY CAN GET INVOLVED
|
Community Groups
Community groups have an opportunity to serve a local foster family one time per month through our Love Box program. Volunteers have the opportunity to build relationships with their family as well as provide much needed supplies. |
Dare to Dream Mentors
Individual members can sign up as a mentor in our Dare to Dream program and mentor a youth, age 11-22, in foster care. Mentors build relationships and teach life skills with the hope of creating positive outcomes. |
Monthly Sponsors
Monthly Sponsors are passionately committed to sustaining support services provided by the Love Box and Dare to Dream programs. They invest capital and share the responsibility of caring for our children in the foster care system. |
Host a build-a-box event or a donation drive
Build-a-box events offer an opportunity to educate your congregation or church group on the foster care crisis, the needs in our local community, and the steps each of us can take to create change right where we are. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential in life, regardless of their start - and that everyone can play a role in impacting a child's life.
We could not do the work that we do without the many businesses and organizations that come together to support the precious children and families that we serve.
What happens at a Build-A-Box event?
☆ A presentation from our team describing the foster care crisis and statistics across Greater Houston
☆ An overview of Houston Angels' mission and programs and the variety of ways to get involved
☆ An engagement activity to assemble and decorate Love Boxes for the children and families in our programs and on our waitlist
☆ Follow up: Houston Angels will share photos and updates with your group regarding the impact of their support
