Our team has helped 115 churches and 4800+ people craft intentional efforts in this space. Together, we will end the foster care crisis.
The South Texas Alliance for Orphans was created by a group of foster/adopt industry veterans including our Founder and Executive Director, church leaders, foster/adopt families and child placing agency professionals in 2012 under the name San Antonio Alliance for Orphans. We met monthly for 2 years collaborating on how we, the church, could unite and fulfill our biblical call to care for children in the foster/adopt system.
A small team including our Executive Director, a board member and a small team of foster parents successfully launched a ministry at their church and started handing off the model to other churches desiring to see ministry happen in their church.
In September of 2016, First Presbyterian granted the Alliance seed money to launch as a DBA non-profit. The Alliance received their 501c3 designation in July of 2018. The Alliance serves and equips a collaborative church movement to solve the foster crisis from family crisis to youth aging out.
From that first meeting of foster parents till now our mission has remained the same, build a community with more than enough for every child and family impacted by the foster care system. In a city of 2.5 million people and 1200 Christian churches, there is no reason each one of the over 3,000 children in foster care should languish to find a family willing to say yes for a season or a lifetime.
