2024 Forgotten Angels Project

Guess what time it is??  It’s time for enjoyment, fun and the gift giving season!!  The Forgotten Angels Project is kicking off its 18th year.  We serve residents who live in Personal Care Homes.  They are usually younger and sometimes suffer from severe mental illness rather than physical limitations.  We focus on this group of residents because they seem to be forgotten by friends, family, and society the most.

You may wonder how it works.  We ask residents for one wish, ($25 and under) that they want.  We place the anonymous Forgotten Angel on the tree and people from the community come to the PeADD office and obtain a Forgotten Angel (or several) off the tree.  You can also call or email us and we can send angels to you.

The Stocking Stuffer list is on the back of this letter.  Most of our residents love snacks. Stocking Stuffers are generally all sorts of snacks, stationary, socks, gloves and personal hygiene items.  Many people load a large Christmas bag full of these extra goodies along with the personal wish requested and return it to the PeADD office where all the gifts are bagged by PeADD staff and volunteers.  Some people choose to bring in donations from the list or make monetary donations. We ask that all gifts be returned, unwrapped, to the PADD office, no later than Friday, December 13th, 2024.

As the holiday season approaches, we hope that you will help us provide a touch of joy to those in need.  It is truly amazing to see how our community gets involved in giving so much to these Forgotten Angels.  Each year, as the donations begin to pour in, I am blessed at your generosity.  I am very proud to be a part of this community and look forward to serving our Forgotten Angels in 2024 with your help.
