 The Big Pickle provides critical support for the work and mission of Friends of the Children Austin. Thank you for being part of it!

Friends of the Children Austin is on a mission to break the cycle of generational poverty. We do this by pairing professional, salaried, bilingual mentors ("Friends") with children facing the greatest challenges. We currently serve more than 200 youth and commit to each child from kindergarten through high school graduation -- 12+ years, no matter what. 

Raffle ticket sales for The Big Pickle will close on Monday, March 9, at 10:00 AM. Winners will be notified by the end of the day Monday, March 9. Friends Austin will coordinate with winners to arrange pick up or in-town delivery of items.
