Dear<insert name/s>,

At this holiday season what could be more meaningful than feeding our most fragile neighbors who have been stricken with illness and are struggling to survive?

While this is a happy and festive time for most of us, it can be a very difficult time for the people we serve. They are poor, disabled and homebound by a life-threatening condition. They are the sickest of the sick, and without Project Angel Food they would suffer the added burden of hunger and malnutrition.

Your meals saved my life. I’ve been in and out of the emergency room and don’t have the energy to shop or cook. You have helped me at a time when no one else would. I’m so happy to be here another day — thanks to your loving kindness. – JASON, struggling with liver cancer

Thank you for saving lives with meals and hope

Every week, we cook and deliver over 10,000 meals to these people who are too sick to shop and cook for themselves. Every day, we our hearts are fi lled with love as we feed them back to health free of charge.

But we do even more than deliver food at Project Angel Food. We are a caring partner in our clients’ struggle to regain their health.

Where there are children in the home we provide breakfast bags to ensure there is enough food for the family, so that our medically tailored meals are fed to the sick caregiver. Our Children’s Breakfast Program is a vital resource in helping food-insecure households and feeds over 100 children at no cost to the client.

Our drivers are weekly visitors and often the only people who come in for conversation. On birthdays, every client gets a birthday bag in honor of their special occasion, each personally decorated by local schoolchildren and fi lled with gift items to draw out a smile. Holiday gifts are collected throughout the year and given to children and teens in client’s homes as an added way to bring holiday cheer to their lives.

These simple but powerful acts of love and compassion are what Project Angel Food is all about.

Please, do something extraordinary and send in your tax-deductible year-end donation today. It will have a direct impact on so many lives all year long. Your gift will be put to work right away, providing vital food to the hungry and compassion to sick and too often forgotten people like Marie, affl icted with end-stage renal disease:

I was so weak and alone. Then you opened your hands and your hearts and began nourishing me back to health from the day I called you. My health has greatly improved and that hollow ache of loneliness is gone. When I think about Project Angel Food it warms my heart… I am truly overwhelmed by your loving efforts.

This is why your holiday donation is so crucial. Your empathy and caring support will mean the world to our clients who have nowhere else to turn for live-saving nourishment.

Thank you for standing by our side.

With warmest wishes for a happy and healthy new year,

Laurie LangExecutive Director
