Project Angel Heart was started in 1991 for Coloradans facing major health challenges. I have been involved in volunteering in the packaging of the meals for approximately eleven years. On our Tuesday morning shift, we assemble approximately 1,600 meals. There are 21 meals for the client, the caregiver, and any family members. It has been an uplifting and inclusive environment for me. I am blessed to work with dedicated individuals that have been in service long before I arrived. There is a lot of laughter and fun each Tuesday morning. We also gather outside of Project Angel Heart on social occasions.
In 2016 I lost much of my eyesight. I went back to Project Angel Heart and figured out how to continue helping in the kitchen. The staff and my other volunteer friends were very gracious and caring. I have had moments that I might be a hindrance, but I always feel it is a warm and inviting environment.
I am so fortunate to be active in two dynamic benevolent organizations Project Angel Heart and the Lions Organization that keep me active and participating in the journey of life. If anyone has an interest in Project Angel Heart, please let me know and I can take you on a tour of their beautiful facility and you can learn so much more from the staff. Lion DENNIS A.
