Featured Charity | January 2026
💙 Central Texas Table of Grace & Grace 365
There are some charities you support… and then there are the ones that become part of your heart and your everyday life. Central Texas Table of Grace is absolutely one of those for me.
As we kick off our 2026 Featured Charity Initiative, it felt only right to start with an organization that we don’t just spotlight once a year—but support all year long. Central Texas Table of Grace is dedicated to providing safe, stable, and nurturing home environments for children and youth in crisis, including foster youth right here in Central Texas.
After recently asking our clients to help furnish an apartment for their Grace 365 program, you showed up in a BIG way. Furniture, household items, thoughtful touches… you went above and beyond, and I’m still blown away by the generosity. That support is exactly why I’m so proud to begin this year of giving with an organization that is truly changing young lives.
Who They Are
Central Texas Table of Grace is a local nonprofit committed to serving children and youth in crisis, with a special focus on foster youth who need more than temporary solutions.
Their mission centers on providing loving, stable homes where young people can heal, grow, and thrive through compassionate care, personalized attention, and evidence-based programs. This work is rooted in dignity, consistency, and long-term impact—not just meeting immediate needs, but helping young people build a stronger future.
What They Do
At its core, Table of Grace offers wraparound support designed specifically for children and young adults navigating incredibly difficult seasons of life. Their work includes:
-
Safe and stable housing environments
-
Transitional support for foster youth and young adults
-
Life skills development and mentorship
-
Emotional, relational, and community-based care
-
Long-term guidance focused on independence and stability
Everything they do is built around relationship and trust—because lasting change doesn’t happen overnight, especially for young people who have experienced instability.
Spotlight on Grace 365
One of the programs closest to my heart is Grace 365, a transitional housing program designed specifically to support older foster youth and young adults as they step into independent living.
Grace 365 provides a safe, stable, and nurturing home environment for young people who are aging out of foster care or facing housing instability. But this program goes far beyond housing. Residents receive personalized support, life skills development, and ongoing mentorship—all rooted in compassion, consistency, and evidence-based care.
The goal of Grace 365 is not just to provide a place to live, but to help young adults heal, grow, and build confidence as they move toward long-term stability. Support doesn’t end after move-in—Grace 365 walks alongside these young people throughout their journey, helping them develop the tools and support systems they need to thrive.
Being able to rally our clients to help furnish an apartment for this program was incredibly meaningful. It wasn’t just about filling a space—it was about creating a home where a young person can feel safe, valued, and supported as they begin a new chapter.
Why This One Is Personal
Central Texas Table of Grace is an organization I support throughout the year, not just during a featured month.

With every closing, I donate $100 in my client’s name to support their work with children and foster youth
-
Throughout the year, we help with special requests—Christmas gifts, décor, events for the kids, household needs, and more
-
They are a true partner in serving some of the most vulnerable young people in our community
Starting our 2026 initiative with Table of Grace sets the tone for the year ahead: intentional giving, real impact, and community coming together to support kids who deserve stability and hope.
