AWFC Amarillo office serves both homes in the Panhandle and Lubbock. AWFC has been steadily growing and becoming an important part of the community in Region 1. Our staff is vibrant and always willing to go above and beyond for their families.
​
We develop close relationships with each family. Our team works hard to be aware of how each family’s unique needs can be met to have our families be successful with each child they have been given the opportunity to serve. Every staff member is flexible, supportive, and willing to serve. No matter the issue, we dig in our heels and get the job done. We are always on hand to help our families meet their goals and give the best possible care to our kids.
We also love to spend one-on-one time with kids, helping with appointments and visits or just getting a chance to give some extra attention to a child who needs it. In Amarillo, we believe it is important to have strong relationships with all of those helping our children. We strive hard to work well with the various entities that are involved with and supportive of the children in AWFC care.
​
Our families provide excellent care to abused/neglected children and are a special part of our ever-growing family. Each family has its unique way of parenting and we love opportunities for our families to get together and share their experiences in order for all of us to better serve the children in our community.
Jessica Cary has been involved in the foster care community both personally and professionally since 2012. She and her family were licensed foster parents through A World for Children for ten years. Jessica is a 2006 alumni of Howard Payne University with a Bachelor’s of Social Work and a 2009 alumni of the University of Texas at Arlington with a Master’s of Social Work. She has experience as a home study assessor and also had the privilege of supporting children, youth and families experiencing foster care in her role as case manager at Amarillo Angels. Her passion for foster care began as a simple “yes” to one child in 2012 and continued to grow recognizing that though her time as a foster parent ended she could continue to use her professional experience to walk alongside other families willing to foster. She loves AWFC because of their personal, caring approach with children and families and their high standard of excellence and integrity. Jessica enjoys time spent with her husband and five children and is proud to be a part of the wonderfully generous community of the Texas Panhandle.
