Central Texas Table of Grace continually provides updates on the progress of our mission to serve foster children and young adults aging out of foster care. We love when our community follows us on social media to stay up-to-date on what’s new, as well as provide support to the kiddos, employees and volunteers. Click below to go to one of our many social media channels. Thank you!
When a young adult moves into their first apartment after aging out of foster care, they start with nothing. Not less than most people. Nothing. A silverware set is one of the first things that makes a kitchen feel like it belongs to someone.
For $17, you put a full set in the drawer. Link in bio.

Happy Labor Day.
Today, we honor the people who do the work. The staff who show up every day. The case managers, program directors, and house parents who keep our programs running. The village that holds.
Tomorrow, we keep building the place where this work can grow. A permanent campus for foster youth in Central Texas. The Mabee Foundation challenge grant deadline is 37 days away. Every dollar you give to the capital campaign is being matched.
Today we rest. Tomorrow we build. Link in bio.

This is what your support looks like at a waterpark.
Our foster youth spent a day at Kalahari. Water slides, wave pools, and the kind of afternoon most kids take for granted.
For foster youth, an outing like this does not just happen. Transportation, admission, supervision, meals. The logistics alone can stop it before it starts. Here, the logistics get handled because the village handles them.
Circle of Grace Supporters and Foundation Box members make days like this possible. When foster youth have comprehensive support, they don't just survive. They thrive.

In July, you met Anh, the person who makes sure every birthday is celebrated. In August, you met Sheila, the person who sees what foster youth need before they ask.
This month, meet Clarice Rogers, our SIL Program Director.
Clarice oversees our Supervised Independent Living program for young adults ages eighteen to twenty one. She is the person who walks beside them as they learn what independence actually looks like.
First apartments. First jobs. First budgets. First grocery runs that are entirely theirs.
Clarice keeps a running wishlist for the young adults she serves. The needs are different from the under 18 home. Apartment essentials, kitchen supplies, professional clothing, personal care. The things you need when you are building a life from scratch.
All month, you will see her wishlist show up across our posts. Pick a way to help.

This is the month that changes everything.
For eleven years, Central Texas Table of Grace has served foster youth out of buildings we adapted, locations we pieced together, and rooms we made work. Every birthday, every meal, every safe bed has happened because this village refused to wait for perfect conditions.
Now the conditions are about to change. The Mabee Foundation has put a $2 million challenge grant on the table. The deadline is October 14. If our community closes the remaining gap on our capital campaign, we unlock it.
September is the month we make that happen.
Every gift to the capital campaign is being matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000. Your gift counts twice.
Follow along this month. We are going to show you exactly what you are building and exactly why it matters. This is the final push.

August 2026.
You stocked the village this month. You checked items off Sheila's wishlist. You gave to the capital campaign. You joined the Foundation Box. You showed up for foster youth you will never meet, and it mattered.
Every item on that list became something real. A helmet and knee pads on the shelf. A LEGO set in a young person's hands. A stomp rocket in the backyard. Jump ropes in every color.
Tomorrow is September. Less than two months to the Mabee Foundation challenge grant deadline. The daily work continues. The bigger work accelerates. Foundation Box supporters keep showing up every month, all year. Want to be one? Link in bio.
Thank you for being part of this Circle of Grace.

In 45 days, we reach the Mabee Foundation challenge grant deadline. Every dollar your community gives to our capital campaign moves us closer.
This month, you stocked shelves with helmets, protective gear, and outdoor games. You kept the daily foundation of our work strong. That work does not stop. And the bigger work, a campus that will serve far more foster youth across Central Texas, is within reach.
Your gift to the capital campaign is still being matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000. Your gift counts twice.
Less than two months. Help us close the gap. Link in bio.

This is what your support looks like in the air.
Our foster youth spent an afternoon at Urban Air this summer. Trampolines, obstacle courses, and the kind of energy that only comes from a group of young people who feel safe enough to let loose.
Enrichment is not always quiet. Sometimes it is loud, fast, and full of laughter. Sometimes it is a room full of young people who needed exactly this.
Circle of Grace Supporters and Foundation Box members make outings like this possible. You did this. When foster youth have comprehensive support, they don't just survive. They thrive.

Stacy Johnson spent fourteen years in foster care, from ages two to sixteen.
She founded Central Texas Table of Grace in 2014. Not because someone asked her to. Because she knew what it felt like to need what did not exist yet.
Today, our programs serve foster youth ages five to seventeen in residential care and young adults ages eighteen to twenty-one in supervised independent living. The under-18 home, the SIL apartments, the staff, the birthday celebrations, the shelves that stay stocked. All of it exists because Stacy decided it should.
The campus is the next chapter. A permanent, purpose-built site that lets this work grow. The Mabee Foundation challenge grant deadline is in October. We are close.
Stacy did not build this for an award. She built it so this exists for the young people who come next.
Help us make sure it does.
Visit the link in our bio to give to the capital campaign. Every gift is being matched dollar for dollar.
