Story and Photo by Rhonda Von Pelt, Pikes Peak Bulletin The best food is prepared with a big helping of tender loving care. That’s the recipe Project Angel Heart has followed for 26 years of changing—maybe even saving—lives.
What do we value most at Project Angel Heart? Our six key values guide us in everything we do, from chopping vegetables in the kitchen to talking on the phone with clients to raising money to support our program.

We hope you’ll join us in committing to these values each time you volunteer!
