Atlanta Angels believes that not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone can make a difference in the life of a child. One way you can make an impact is through the Love Box program, which focuses on providing wraparound support to a foster family. Love Box leaders meet with a foster family in their community once a month and bring curated care packages, as well as spend intentional time with the family to build positive relationships.
This program requires a one year commitment, once a month.
We currently have several families in Paulding county on our waitlist. These families are made up of selfless individuals who opened their homes and their hearts to kiddos in care.

Mission Statement
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.
Description
Atlanta Angels is a foster care non-profit that was created to help empower children and build sustainable foster homes. We are a community of people that walk alongside foster children and their caretakers by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building and mentorship. Our solution to the foster care crisis are the Love Box family support program and Dare to Dream youth mentor programs. Our programs utilize a trauma-informed, wrap-around service model that strengthens relationships between foster families, youth in foster care, and bio families. Our volunteers are everyday people who meet practical needs while spending quality time with the whole family building positive community. They are changing the way kids and parents experience the foster care system. At Atlanta Angels we believe in the power of love and the value of friendship and positive role models for kids and youth in foster care. We want to connect people passionate about making a difference in the foster care community to our most vulnerable children and youth who have experienced neglect and abuse and the selfless parents who care for them.
