Forgotten Angels is a family-run nonprofit our mission is to ensure that north east Florida nursing home residents are never “forgotten” during the holiday season.
Since 2003 the Forgotten Angels have been dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of residents of local nursing homes. We truly belive that the elderly are the forgotten population. Our goal is to bring cheer to those who spend nights, days, and even Holidays in our local nursing homes.
Volunteers are always ready to help us in our mission. Together we help in planned activities (bingo, proms, and bedside visits) coordinated with the Activities Directors. Little treat bags with snacks and gifts help to lift their spirits, reminding them they are not forgotten. Volunteers also help us with making jellies to sell at festivals, the wrapping and delivery of Christmas gifts.
Since 2003 our focus has been on Christmas. So many residents are living in nursing homes every day of the year. We want to make sure that they have something special for that very special day. We bring Christmas gifts to about 40 homes a year (around 3500 gifts). Let’s make sure that these wonderful people are never forgotten on the most joyous day of the year.
Help raise awareness about our cause by sharing our story and the stories of those we help.
As we move forward, The Forgotten Angels remains committed to providing support to local nursing home residents, their families, and staff. With the help of our many volunteers and support of Activity Directors we are poised to expand our reach and deepen our impact to our forgotten population.
