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.
As we end our ANGELS Easter deliveries, I wanted to share some of the comments I received from our grateful families for their Easter family dinners.
I may have received a few more text messages from women that appreciated the men in uniform that delivered their baskets. 😊
Thank you Toledo Police, Toledo Fire & Rescue and the State Highway Patrol for your strong support of A.N.G.E.L.S. Outreach.

The tomb is empty yet, he lives…
Jesus is who he said he was.
And you are, who he says you are; You are adored, Loved beyond earthy words, you were created in his image. Perfect ✝️

They crucified him on Friday. And on Saturday everything was quiet. But just wait till tomorrow…..
What an amazing day to serve families for the Easter Holiday Season. We began our day, at Washington Church preparing easter food baskets for local families. Our amazing Volunteers Angels ; the State Highway Patrol, Toledo Fire and Rescue Department and the Toledo Police Department, banded together to hand deliver our food baskets to each home, all over the City of Toledo. Our Easter food baskets consist of a large dinner to serve at least 4-6 people and more.
Each of our baskets, had a special gift from Mrs. B’s Meadowvale first grade class. The students took their time and created a project consisting of a coloring book and a personalized Easter card for each family that we serve today.
A special thank you to Miss B’s class and your little angels that provided so much happiness to our families today.
In the afternoon, it was time to go and serve the disabled veterans with a sit down dinner from ANGELS OUTREACH. We have had the pleasure and the honor to serve local veterans at the holiday season. Special thank you to the Veterans Committee at Clarios for donating your time to help serve our veterans. It was Veterans Serving Veterans 🇺🇸
Thank You to our front line workers, to our ANGELS Volunteers, to Washington Church, and to TOLEDO for always Believing in ANGELS !!

I’d like to share a heart warming story that has touched my heart. ANGELS works with many agencies, on churches, schools, and even our neighbors to come up with a list that we will serve for each holiday. Our families receive a free holiday food basket filled with everything you would need to serve a full course holiday dinner. The process behind delivery day, can be intense and a lot of work. As I was working through my call list I noticed a family that had not returned a phone call to confirm her address for delivery. So, I called. The phone rang and I heard this kind voice on the other end; she said good morning. I said good morning, Is this Barb and she said yes it is; how may I help you? I explained about our organization and who I was, and she apologize for not returning the call but she was older and a cell phone was not her friend. We laughed together, and I confirmed her address and the time we would be delivering her food basket, and after that, we seem to just talk and talk. By the time we got off the phone an hour later, I had cried and laughed so much. This wonderful woman that was in need of a food basket has no idea how much I needed her. Missing my mom that had passed away and as we were celebrating her one year anniversary; it was so good to just speak to someone that had so much wisdom, someone that was just so kind. It’s that connection that you get once in a lifetime. Before we got off the phone she said Ms. Lisa may I pray with you, I said of course, and she then said if you don’t mind, would you also pray for me? I smiled and said absolutely. So together two strangers, prayed together, not knowing our past, our circumstances that even brought us together. As she prayed for me, I could feel her faith through the phone. She was a powerful woman and she had no idea what she did for me that morning. In 30 years of providing food baskets for families in this area I have never had anyone willing to pray for me and our organization. One morning she called me, so upset and she explained that her daughter had been fighting cancer, just passed away. There were just no words. My new friend was hurting so much and I didn’t know how to fix it. My heart broke for her. Later, she invited my husband and I over as we wanted to pay our respects . When we arrived at her home, I felt like I knew her forever. There was no awkwardness. As soon as she saw me, she reached for me and hugged me so tight. The three of us sat in her living room and we listen to many stories that she had. Through all of her struggles in life, her faith in God was more than amazing, it was so inspiring. She handed me a gift to open, it was two beautiful doves. As soon as I open them, she said, turn around and behind me where the matching pair that she had. She said we will forever be connected. I have one pair of doves and you will have the other. I pray that our friendship and these doves will forever give you peace in your journey with God.
Palm Sunday is a beautiful way to show your faithfulness for Jesus. As we head into the holy week, leading up to his death and more importantly, the resurrection. I pray a blessing over you and your families, and that favor would follow the desires of your heart 💜
