A Resolve for giving hope to neighbors in need
- Posted on 02.05.09
At Project Angel Food we are even more energized about our mission during these difficult economic times because we know that the people we serve have the additional burden of bravely struggling with devastating diseases. The economic stimulus package will not provide for them; instead, they'll continue to count on Project Angel Food and the commitment and caring of individuals who agree that the most vulnerable among us always deserve special attention...and hope.
The agency proudly commemorates 20 years of service this year. We've undergone major growth -- from cooking and delivering 20 meals a day in 1989 to nearly 1,600 meals today. And throughout that time our purpose has remained crystal clear - to nourish the body and the spirit of our neighbors who are sick, so they can heal with dignity. That is why staff and our wonderful corps of volunteers continue to cook all the food, with love, from scratch with the best possible ingredients, despite our lean budget.
Even while the economy slows, we expect the need for our services to increase by 10% in 2009. Sadly, the number of people being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, cancer, kidney failure and other debilitating diseases continues to rise. Fortunately, we will be able to rely on the generosity and compassion of our close circle of friends, volunteers and donors. In that, we can take great comfort.
