About Us

What is a Wednesday Angel?

Welcome to Wednesdays Angels, where a love for food meets a passion for helping others. We are a group of dedicated food enthusiasts working to make a positive difference by addressing hunger among homeless animals and their companions in the vibrant communities of Downtown Dallas, Lakewood, and Pleasant Grove.

Every Wednesday, we turn our love for culinary delights into meaningful action by providing nourishing supplies to those in need. Our mission is driven by the belief that everyone, whether human or animal, deserves access to food and care. Through our efforts, we aim to build a community where compassion and nourishment go hand in hand.

Join us on this rewarding journey as we serve our community with heart, one meal at a time. Together, we can make a difference and ensure all beings are cared for with love and respect.

Our Mission Statement

At Wednesdays Angels, we aim to connect food abundance with those in need, making sure no one—human or animal—goes hungry. We focus on:

- Compassionate Service: Offering consistent, thoughtful support while treating everyone with dignity and respect.

- Community Collaboration: Partnering with local businesses, volunteers, and organizations to amplify our reach.

- Education and Awareness: Highlighting hunger and homelessness issues to foster an informed and empathetic community.

- Sustainability and Innovation: Using sustainable practices and creative solutions to make the most of our resources.

- Empowerment and Engagement: Encouraging volunteers and community members to actively participate and spread kindness.

By following these values, Wednesdays Angels works toward a world where everyone has access to food and compassion, moving closer to ending food insecurity for good.

At Wednesdays Angels, we dream of a world where every being is valued, supported, and cared for through life's challenges. Our vision includes creating Wednesdays Angels Ranch, a sanctuary offering refuge, healing, and hope for homeless animals and families recovering from abusive situations.

Our ranch will be a place of peace and renewal, providing a safe environment where both animals and people can heal and grow. We aim to nourish not only the body with food but also the spirit, offering compassionate care and a supportive community. Through educational programs and workshops, we hope to empower individuals and families to rebuild their lives and look forward to a brighter future.

By fostering a network of kindness, respect, and understanding, we want everyone to feel included and valued. Our ranch will serve as a shining example of how communities can unite to support the vulnerable, inspiring others to spread compassion far and wide. Together, we can create a world where healing, hope, and dignity are available to all, transforming lives and building a future where everyone can thrive.
