every low-income family will have the proper clothing needed at any time of the year. - Medicine – When funds are available our Angels can assist people in purchasing the medication they need to live happily and healthy.

Distribution of food and supplies at no charge can really lift a person’s spirits to know that they don’t have to worry about the health of their pet when they are in a time of need because our Angels will be there for them.
Angel Events
- Holiday Program – The Community Action Angels Holiday Program provides a wonderful hope filled holiday for families unable to celebrate in the traditional way because of financial or medical problems. Many area businesses, churches, school organizations and private individuals adopt a family in need for the holidays.
- Garden Project – Fresh fruits and vegetables are essential in keeping our bodies healthy. Community Action Angels produced a garden to help keep low-income families healthy when times are tough.
- Coat Giveaway – Each year many families go without the proper winter clothing needed in this area to stay healthy. Donations of gently used coats and jackets in late September are greatly appreciated by Community Action Angel volunteers.
- Surplus – Our Angels receive a large surplus of food to feed low-income families. We distribute it to all our local towns in Orleans County. The amount of food a family receives is based on the number of family members and on their income.
