What Chosen Ones does

Chosen Ones (legally My Chosen Ones, Inc.) is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2007 and headquartered at 7600 Sand Street, Building 14, Fort Worth, TX 76118. The organization supports foster families, adoptive families, and women in crisis (pregnant or with young children) through a Christ-centered model that combines direct material aid with spiritual and community support. Core operations center on the Community Closet & Pantry, which distributes clothing, food, and necessities by appointment, complemented by three signature programs (Birthday Wish, Warriors of Christ, The Love Project), peer support groups facilitated through social media, and a published Resource Guide connecting families to community services.

The organization employs 38 staff and operates with limited part-time hours (Mon/Wed/Fri 10am-3pm, Thu 5-8pm). Its revenue model is donation-based, accepting contributions via PayPal, individual giving, and a Corporate Sponsorships program; no fees are charged to beneficiary families. Outreach runs through organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Vimeo) and recurring community events (Christmas, Fall Festival). There is no proprietary technology platform, no mobile app, and no API integration; operations are supported by standard website tooling and Square-based appointment scheduling.

Governance is founder-led under Executive Director Vickie Akins, with a small leadership team handling appointments, marketing, volunteer scheduling, and administrative functions, augmented by an external business consultant. The organization is independently operated with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no disclosed funding rounds. Geographic scope is limited to the Fort Worth, Texas area, serving a national-scale problem (442,000 US children in foster care, 123,000 waiting for adoption) at a local level.

Direct peers

• Together We Rise: Nonprofit providing tangible goods (Sweet Cases, birthday boxes, scholarship programs) to foster youth nationwide. Directly comparable volunteer-driven, donation-funded model focused on material assistance for foster children—same beneficiary base and service delivery approach as Chosen Ones' Community Closet & Pantry, but at significantly greater national scale.
• Foster Love: Provides birthday boxes and One Simple Wish programs for foster children—directly comparable to Chosen Ones' Birthday Wish program. Operates with the same donation-funded, community-led GTM and serves the same foster youth beneficiary segment, making it one of the closest functional analogs.
• Comfort Cases: Provides duffel bags (instead of trash bags) and comfort items for children entering foster care. Similar tangible-goods distribution model and donation-funded operations to Chosen Ones' Community Closet, with comparable mission of providing dignity to foster children at placement.
• Show Hope: Faith-based nonprofit providing adoption aid, student sponsorship, and Care Portal connecting churches with families in crisis. Similar Christ-centered mission to Chosen Ones, with overlapping family support programming and church-based mobilization model that drives both donations and volunteer capacity.
• Lifesong for Orphans: Faith-based nonprofit supporting foster families and adoption through financial aid, family grants, and church partnerships. Directly comparable Christ-centered model with similar mission and church-mobilization approach to Chosen Ones' Warriors of Christ program, with deeper grantmaking capability.

Regional players

• Buckner International: Texas-based faith-based family services organization with broader foster care, adoption, and humanitarian programs. Operates in the same Texas geography as Chosen Ones with overlapping faith-based mission but significantly larger scale, broader service portfolio, and institutional funding base—representing both a regional peer and a potential collaboration or competitive threat.
