Amarillo Angels is a non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of children in foster care and their families in the Texas Panhandle.  Our mission is to walk alongside children in foster care and their caretakers by offering consistent support through relationship-building, mentoring and intentional giving.  

Amarillo Angels seeks to mobilize volunteers to support those walking the journey of foster care by providing a safety net of support for the entire foster family unit.  We do this in many ways - 

• Love Box groups (on-going intentional giving and encouragement by a group or individual targeting the needs of foster families)
• Special Events - Fairy Godmother for the Month, Summer Bags, Gift Cards for School Supplies, Meals for foster families, extracurricular activities for children in foster care, etc.
• Angel Ambassadors 
• Corporate Sponsor
• Faith-based initiatives
