The Chestnut Family Foundation has donated $100,000 to Atlanta Angels to help support their plans for growth. The vision of Atlanta Angels is to ensure every child and young adult reaches their fullest potential, and that every family that fosters is radically supported. Their work is based on relationship building with children and foster parents, mentorship of children, and intentional giving. Critical outcomes of this work include reducing the number of placement changes experienced by foster children, providing children with typical childhood experiences, and preparing them for life after foster care. Atlanta Angels is part of the National Angels network.
Atlanta Angels have ambitious plans for growth in their programs over the next few years and the Chestnut Family Foundation’s gift will help support that growth.
Teresa Chestnut commented, “Ben and I are very proud to support the very important work Atlanta Angels is doing for foster children and foster families. Children in the foster system should have an environment which enables them to realize their full potential. That can only be achieved if they, and their foster parents, receive support, which helps provide stability and consistency. Atlanta Angels provides such support. Their work is invaluable to those children, and to our community.”
