Help us shift Meals in Motion into high gear!

Beginning in 2018 Angel Foundation started to see an alarming increase in need from the families we serve for food. By 2021 we could see that the economic impacts of the pandemic were disproportionately affecting our cancer patients. Food-insecure patients statistically had significantly higher levels of nutritional risk, depression, financial strain, and lower quality of life. In June we launched a partnership with Open Arms of Minnesota to provide medically tailored meals for people experiencing a significant health crisis due to cancer. Open Arms is a nonprofit that prepares and delivers free, nutritious meals and has vast experience with cancer patients. Clients will receive one week’s supply of 14 meals at a time (2 meals per day). To date we have provided 7,910 meals to cancer patients.

The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation has awarded Angel Foundation a $10,000 match for any NEW gift to help support our efforts to provide meals to local cancer patients through the Meals in Motion initiative. If you have never made a gift to Angel before, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar. With your help, when we see needs, we innovate to meet those needs.
