Community Partners - Austin Children's Shelter


Our Community Partners are companies, organizations or churches who have adopted the Austin Children's Shelter as their charity of choice and provide substantial support in a variety of ways throughout the year. Please visit their websites by clicking on the logos.
	Cattlemen Care This non‐profit organization was created to help get beef to people who can't afford to buy it. Cattlemen Care's goal is to acquire, process, and deliver meat to those in need in Central Texas by encouraging ranchers, farmers, feedlots, meat processors and others to help provide beef to the needy in our community. The organization has been donating beef to the Austin Children's Shelter since its beginning in 2008.
	Riverbend Church For more than a decade, Riverbend Church has supported ACS in a variety of ways. During the past four years, their Angels Afoot program have become major supporters during the holiday season by providing gifts for the children, youth and young adults at the Shelter.
	Strüb Residential A local realty company, Strüb Residential strives to inspire, encourage and serve those who seek to improve their living situation. Strüb Residential has created a program in which ACS can provide a new pair of shoes for every youth in our care. This ongoing program will not only supply the Shelter with a much needed resource, but it will also help re-build self-esteem and confidence for the youth at ACS.
	Travis County Sheriffs Office Sheriff Greg Hamilton and his staff adopted the Shelter early in 2006. They provide support through in-kind donation drives in area schools, raise funds through the Sheriff Shootout event, and spend time with the kids at the Shelter. Sheriff Hamilton was also nstrumental in bringing resources to ACS to provide security for our new facility.
	Food Heads Chip and Candy Wendt, owners of Food Heads, have supported the Austin Children's Shelter since 2000 by providing what they do best -- deli sandwiches. Because they place a high value on volunteerism, they provide meals for our volunteer trainings each month, making and delivering at least 300 sandwiches and sides each year.
