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 the Austin Children’s Shelter can provide a new pair of shoes for every child in our care.

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 has also been instrumental in bringing resources to ACS to provide security for the new facility scheduled to open late in 2008.

The Texas DPS Credit Union launched a three year commitment to the Austin Children's Shelter with their "Stepping Up For" campaign in the summer of 2008.  The purpose is to build awareness of ACS through billboards, counter cards, free window clings, their newsletter and website and a donation drive. Customers spotted with a window cling in their vehicle window or made a donation to the Shelter were entered into a weekly drawing for $100 gas cards.
