Homelessness | Bags of Grace
Bags of Grace is a ministry focused on serving the homeless in the Austin. This ministry is for everyone (from kids to seniors). Bags of necessities are prepared that include food, water, and hygiene products. These bags are then subsequently distributed to the homeless in and around Austin. For example, the bags can be prepared on a Saturday afternoon at the HCBC campus. The following day the bags can then be distributed at Church Under the Bridge under an overpass of I-35 near downtown Austin.
All of us want to help when we know there is a need, but many people are reluctant to hand money to someone with a sign on a street corner. A Bag of Grace provides basic but valuable items to those on the street, who are truly in need. A Bag of Grace, however, is more than just a meal. It's a chance to connect with another person, even if just for a moment. It's a chance to let those in need and/or homeless know that they are not forgotten or thrown away.

Questions or suggestions? Email our Ministry Leaders for more information.
Fostering Hope
Fostering Hope is a nonprofit committed to building stronger foster and adoptive families through training, mentoring, and church ministry development.
Everyone Can Play a Part
A supportive community can be the difference between foster and adoptive families who thrive and those who barely survive. Our experience has shown that it takes 5-10 other adults providing support and care for one foster or adoptive family for that family to be truly successful.
If you are not called to foster or adopt yourself, we still need you to jump in and serve a family that is called. Babysitting. Meals. Prayer. Fundraising. Furniture. Clothing. Respite care. Transportation. No part or role is too small.
Be confident in your next step.
Whether you are exploring ways to get involved or are looking for ways to respond to the needs of foster and adoptive families, we want to help you wisely discern your next step and empower you to make a difference in the life of a child or family.
Programs and Services: I Said Yes, Ministry Development, Make Ready, Consultation, AFAH, Babysitting
Questions or ready to take that next step? Contact Fostering Hope for more information.
