Angels Outreach
Twenty five years ago, Lisa Canales found herself in need of a miracle when complications during childbirth became life threatening to her unborn child. It was at that time, when all hope seemed lost, that she turned to prayer – asking God to send his angels to protect her baby girl. Angel Mia was born healthy despite suffering an umbilical cord prolapse. From that day forward, Lisa made a promise to God that she would dedicate her life to community outreach.
Founded in 1995, Area Neighbors Getting Envolved Lovingly and Spiritually (A.N.G.E.L.S.), delivered its first food baskets to families in need – Angel Mia was six weeks old. Today, the
organization has delivered hundreds of food baskets to families in need of assistance every Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
On May 2, 2014, the nonprofit organization will conduct its first major fund raiser – “City of The A.N.G.E.L.S.” One hundred percent of the funds raised will go back to the community and will help A.N.G.E.L.S. expand its outreach efforts to provide hope and assistance to more families than ever before.

Join us for the Annual Warm Up Toledo Neighbor Drive, an initiative that shines a light on the lives of those living on the streets of Toledo. The tragic loss of Richard Kwapich, 61, who succumbed to the harsh weather conditions, has left an indelible mark on our community. As we grapple with the question of what we can do, it's clear that collective action can spark meaningful change. Mr. Kwapich's passing underscores the urgent need to address the growing crisis of homelessness in our city. With 99% of beds currently occupied and over 538 individuals on the waiting list, it's imperative that we come together to provide support and resources to those in need. Rather than pointing fingers, let's unite to amplify the voices of our unhoused neighbors and work towards creating a more compassionate and inclusive community. We're one of many organizations dedicated to making a difference, and we invite you to join us in this effort. Every contribution, no matter how small, counts, and we encourage you to give where you can. Let's take a moment to say a kind prayer for those struggling and express gratitude for our own blessings.

TLC homelessness board for Lucas County just announced the heartbreaking loss of one of their homeless to the harsh cold.
My heart goes out to this individual who laid on the frigid cold street of the City of Toledo, alone, yet deserving of compassion and kindness. I wonder how many people walked by him, believing that he was only trying to stay warm, did anyone take a moment to check on him? How many people chose to look beyond their fears and show empathy to a stranger. A stranger that just needed a warm bed, a kind heart, a safe place to keep warm. He matters! He’s someone’s person, he was someone’s son, possibly a husband or a father. Even if he was none of those titles, he was our neighbor. If you live in the city of Toledo or anywhere close, he was our neighbor. More importantly, he was a precious human being.
I pray over the City of Toledo, and for those that call their home the streets. I pray for their protection, for a clear minds to seek help and hope for restoring their lives. I pray that God would send his Angels to guide them, and to fill their hearts with the warmth of his love.
He mattered, every single one of them matters!! ❤️
