Thanks to thoughtful volunteers, each meal bag our clients receive is decorated with unique artwork. The bag art spans the gamut, from the adorable scribbles of preschoolers, to doodles and cartoons, to intricate line drawings and paintings.

Dear volunteers, When the weather turns, we brace ourselves at Project Angel Heart and ask ourselves key questions: Will all of our clients’ meals be delivered? Will our vendors be able to deliver ingredients? Will our volunteers be able to make it in?
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 believe that by upholding these values in our work every day, we can accomplish our mission in the best, most effective way and make life better not just for our clients, but also for our community. We hope you’ll join us in committing to these values each time you volunteer!
