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.

ANGELS Outreach is always eager to share our story and spread the joy of giving; Sophia and Stella Ziehr, along with the compassionate Kristina White, embodied the spirit of our community by shopping for children who will benefit from our Toy Drive in December. You might have thought it was Christmas in July, but we say it's Christmas in April! There's no wrong time for a heart that wants to give, and Sophia and Stella didn't just want to give - they wanted to share their hearts about making a difference in these children's lives and how others can help. Stella's brilliant idea to handwrite notes to the kids receiving toys from our toy drive warmed my heart. I thought, what a beautiful way to connect - kids helping kids.
I immediately reached out to Thomas Krouse, our talented web designer who brings ANGELS Outreach to life, and together we crafted a special Christmas letterhead. This will enable children from our area to write heartfelt letters to their peers during the holidays, sharing encouragement and love. Thank you, Kristina White, for being an incredible connector and friend. I had the privilege of sitting down with Sophia and Stella, and their passion for Outreach is truly inspiring. For ANGELS Outreach, it may be April, but the spirit of Christmas is alive and well, reminding us that it's never too early to think about our families during the holidays.
