----- STATUS UPDATE -----
The Angel's Depot has provided food for 246,834 Senior Meals since June 2006! Hundreds of San Diego County senior citizens living in poverty receive "Senior Food-for-a-Week" Emergency Meal Boxes monthly, each containing 21 meals providing nutritious, nonperishable, easily prepared food, for breakfast, lunch & dinner . . . enough to last 7 days until their next Social Security check arrives!
THE ANGEL'S DEPOT STORY
They fought our wars, paid taxes and handed down a legacy of freedom, hope and opportunity to the next generations . . . and yet, over 50,000 of these brave senior citizens live below poverty level in San Diego County. Many suffer from malnutrition and must choose between buying food and medicine each month. They are a proud generation who suffer in silence. We call these deserving senior citizens our "Quiet Heroes."
In an effort to provide humanitarian relief to these impoverished elderly, The Angel's Depot, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, was created to provide "Senior Food-for-a-Week" Emergency Meal Boxes. These nutritious, nonperishable easily prepared foods are FREE to senior citizens living on $900 or less per month. The emergency food boxes are distributed through pre-qualified senior centers, churches, nonprofits assisting seniors and government agencies with social service or healthcare programs.
Poverty, hunger and malnutrition are a vicious circle, compromising physical and emotional health and wellbeing. Nutrition is the single most significant factor that affects and defines the health of all people, but it especially defines the elderly.
Given the resources we have the ability to garner, we believe we have a moral mandate to relieve this suffering. These citizens are living in poverty in the richest country in the world. They have courageously done their part for our great country . . . we cannot let them suffer in their fragile senior years. Let us never forget them or leave them behind.
Please . . . consider donating to The Angel's Depot. Please take a moment to stroll through our web site to better understand our seniors living in poverty. Along the way, you will meet the "angels" who are helping us make a wonderful difference in the lives of the elderly poor. May we count you among them?
