Angels do exist

Angels do exist! We see them at work every day of the year at Anglicare.

Angels — our staff, volunteers and foster carers — bring help where it's needed, all year round.

At Christmas, we need the support of choirs of angels. Angels are the people who bring donations of cash, food and toys to help struggling families. Angels bring comfort and hope to people who are on the margins. Angels spread the joy of Christmas to people who have had little to celebrate this year.

Why don't you join us on Angel Day, 11 December?

There are so many ways you can be an angel this Christmas

 

 

Thank you for your support throughout the year, and especially at Christmas.

 

 

Check out the Anglicare Angel Hall of Fame!

Guardian angels have supported Anglicare's Christmas appeal for many years. Our thanks to them all.

Dorinda Hafner shared her Angel Food Cake with us in 2003. It's light and fluffy, and tastes like angel cake should!
