Mission
Austin Allies' mission is to organize meaningful volunteer opportunities for families in the Greater Austin area by partnering with local nonprofits and those that they serve. Austin Allies is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization started by three moms at a kitchen table in South Austin. Looking around at our neighborhood, city, state and country, we didn't like what we saw - people were unhappy and unkind to each other. We wondered if taking care of others in our community might be just the thing everyone needed, and started calling local nonprofits to see how our families could help. We brought in some community-minded friends and their kids, who brought in their friends, and it just took off! During the Covid-19 pandemic, we launched #HelpingFromHome working with 96 non-profit partners with 650+volunteer families. We are so proud and grateful to be making a small difference in our corner of the world!
