Stepping Into the Next Chapter of Our Mission
At Angels in the Outfield, every step forward is guided by our unwavering belief that every child deserves a chance to heal, dream, and thrive. Since our founding, we have walked alongside children impacted by crime, abuse, and neglect, providing resources and opportunities to help them reclaim their childhoods and build brighter futures. Today, we are thrilled to share an exciting new chapter in our mission as we unveil our redesigned website and launch transformative improvements to how we serve the community.
More Than a New Look
While the fresh design of our new website is certainly engaging, it represents far more than a visual update. This step was made possible by a critical infrastructure grant and the incredible generosity of donors like you. Thanks to your unwavering support, we’ve been able to reimagine how we operate behind the scenes. In 2023 alone, we provided over $245,000 in resources to nearly 1,000 children, and during our annual Holiday Store, we brought warmth and joy to over 1,500 children by providing essentials and gifts that reminded them they are loved. But as our impact grows, so do the demands on our processes.
In the past, managing hundreds of requests each year meant juggling emails, spreadsheets, and time-intensive manual reviews. With the support of this grant and your partnership, we have built a streamlined internal system that enables us to review and process referrals more effectively, ensuring children and families receive timely support when they need it most. This upgrade is not just about efficiency; it’s about honoring the trust you’ve placed in us and maximizing the impact of every donation.
Empowering Children, Transforming Futures
Our mission has always been about more than meeting immediate needs—it’s about restoring hope and creating opportunities for healing. Through our programs, we help children rediscover joy, build resilience, and realize that they are not alone. For example:
General Referrals: Up to $500 annually per child for tutoring, sports fees, school trips, and creative outlets like art classes or music lessons.
Housing Referrals: Up to $750 per request to assist families fleeing domestic violence, ensuring safe and stable transitions.
Holiday Store: Brightening the holidays for over 1,500 children annually with winter coats, blankets, pajamas, and thoughtful gifts.
Each of these efforts is a testament to what’s possible when a community comes together to believe in the potential of every child. Behind every statistic is a story of transformation—a child who feels seen, a family finding stability, a life filled with new possibilities.
Building a Future Together
Our new website is more than just a tool; it’s a reflection of our commitment to transparency, connection, and innovation. From easier navigation for donors to simplified referral forms for caseworkers, every aspect has been designed with the people we serve in mind. These changes empower us to be more responsive and to ensure every dollar you give directly contributes to meaningful change.
We couldn’t have achieved this milestone without you. Your generosity, belief in our mission, and partnership have been the driving force behind everything we do. Thank you for being part of our Angels family and helping us light the way toward brighter tomorrows—one child at a time.

Together, we’ve proven that no child should face life’s challenges alone. With your continued support, we can turn even more struggles into stories of resilience and hope.
