Angel NewsThe Angel Thrift shop will reopen as soon as possible after COVID-19
restrictions are lifted. In the meantime, Board of Directors continue to conduct business via online meetings. Philanthropy donations totaling $10,000 were approved at April meeting. These funds went to Fallbrook Senior Center, North County Boys and Girls Club, Fallbrook Food Pantry and Foundation for Senior care. All funding was for their current food programs. SCHOLARSHIPS TOTALING $18,750. WERE APPROVED FOR 29 GRADUATING STUDENTS FROM F.U.H.S. It was also announced that fabrics from the Angel Shop had been donated to members who made masks that were given to nurses at Scripps and Kaiser hospitals, as well as to a hospital in Texas and the Vista Meals on Wheels. Fabrics were given to military wives at Camp Pendleton for making masks. Plans are being formulated so that upon reopening all precautions will be taken to protect our volunteer workers, our customers, and our many wonderful community members who bring their donations of clothing, household items, treasures and jewelry to our door. Puzzles, games, and fabrics flew out the doors before we closed so we will need your help in restocking those shelves. In the meantime, we would like to offer the following suggestions to those who have been using their time to organize their closets. We will welcome your donations. As our space is limited, we would suggest that, if possible, you hold your special out-of-season items until a later date. Quoting from a CEO of a San Diego online clothing resale company “ with transit times ( seven to 10 days) and processing times (an additional 14 plus days) all available data says zero chance the virus can live on clothing/plastic for long enough to be an issue.” Cleaning is still up to the purchaser. The Angel Society thanks the Village News for keeping our community informed at this crucial time ******************************** FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT SEE THE FRONT PAGE OF THE VILLAGE NEWS on April 9, 2020 This article accompanied the picture with the caption: ANGEL Bunnies Deliver to Food Pantry The Angel Shop had an awesome display of Easter bunnies, Easter baskets and all the items for children to celebrate the holiday. The committee of Mona Castro, Linda Heyser and Marilyn Wertz had worked hard pricing items that had been donated by our generous community throughout the year. However, the shop has been closed in accordance with COVID -19 regulations. So what to do with all those donations? A hasty decision was made by the Angel Society Board of Directors to deliver them all to the Fallbrook Food Pantry and Jean Dooley made the arrangements. The food pantry will make them available to families with children. Ten large bags were delivered April 5. The Angel Shop will resume their normal hours for sales and receiving donations when restrictions are lifted. ***************************** ANGEL SOCIETY DONATES $ 36,500 TO LOCAL NONPROFITS A total of $36,500 in philanthropic funds to local non-profit organizations were approved by the board of directors of the Angel Society in January and February.
