Sometimes the biggest myth is believing there’s nothing you can do. The truth? You don’t have to change the entire foster care system to change one child’s experience. Whether you become a mentor, support a foster family through Love Box®, volunteer, or give, there’s a place for you to make a difference. Because every child deserves a community that shows up. 💙

It takes a village to make a founding father. 🇺🇸 With America turning 250, we are inspired by one Founding Father at Atlanta Angels: the upbringing of Alexander Hamilton. By 1768, Alexander was completely orphaned and bouncing between relatives. But his community refused to let him fall through the cracks. In 1772, local neighbors pooled their money to buy him a ticket on a ship to America for an education. They became his village, handing a grieving teenager a future he could never have reached alone. Later, George Washington stepped in as a mentor and father figure to help him thrive. Hamilton’s past did not decide his future because a community chose to show up. At Atlanta Angels, we see kids just like Alexander every single day. They are navigating foster care and waiting for their own village to arrive. You don't have to change the entire world to change the world for one child. 👉 Want to be a youth in foster care's Washington or part of a families village?

Our annual Back to School Bash is this Saturday, July 25, and we're in need of some volunteers to help make it a success! Interested? Comment "Back to School" for more info!

📚✨ Because of this community, more than 1,300 children and caregivers experiencing foster care across Metro Atlanta are heading into the school year feeling seen, supported, and prepared. This year’s Atlanta Angels Back to School Bash was our biggest yet. Together, we welcomed over 300 people to a day filled with backpacks, school supplies, encouragement, and connection. Through our incredible partnerships with local child welfare agencies and Passion City Church, we were also able to extend that impact to families throughout the metro area. Every backpack packed, every volunteer who showed up, every donor who gave, and every partner who said “yes” helped remind children and families that they don’t have to walk this journey alone. To every volunteer, sponsor, partner, and supporter: thank you for making this possible. You are helping create a community where children and families experiencing foster care know they belong. 💙 #AtlantaAngels #FosterCare #BackToSchool #CommunityImpact #ItTakesAVillage MetroAtlanta Belonging Volunteer SupportFosterCare
