Welcome...

 

Angels has some very exciting news. The Angels Foster Care Endowment Fund is open! This is important news because it gives our financial donors additional options for supporting Angels far into the future and provides financial stability as the fund grows and pays out profits annually to support Angels' work. 

 

The endowment account was opened in December 2014, with funds received for this purpose from Hazen Foundation and special endowment donations given at our Fall Frolic Fundraiser 2014. We are very grateful for this support. 

 

2015 is our Endowment Campaign kick off, with a goal to bring in $50,000 to qualify us for matching funds. Recipes Organic Bakery (myhomerecipes.com) will donate 10% of catering orders to Angels. So order for your next office meeting, tea party, or wedding brunch today.  

 

Please consider supporting our Endowment Campaign by making a personal donation, promoting the campaign through your business or hosting a small gathering to secure further contributions. Contact me to get started!
