AUSTIN YOUNG LAWYERS ASSOCIATION

Carrying Hope Summer Service Project

Please help the Austin Young Lawyers Association support Carrying Hope this summer. Carrying Hope is a local nonprofit founded in 2016 by foster parents and advocates who were heartbroken watching children arrive on their doorsteps with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They came up with the idea for Hope Packs: backpacks filled with everything a child would need during his/her/their first 24 - 48 hours in a new home.

Hope Packs are backpacks filled with everything a child would need during his/ her/their first 24-48 hours in a new home.

Since 2016, Carrying Hope has distributed more than 15,000 Hope Packs to CPS and foster care agencies across Texas. Items can be selected from the Amazon Wishlist (direct link on ayla.org) all summer long. Please deliver items to Debbie Kelly. At the beginning of the 2022 -23 bar year in August, AYLA will host an event at Hilgers House to assemble the packs to donate to Carrying Hope. AL
