WHY A FOOD-FOCUSED MISSION MADE SENSE

 

Here’s why a Thanksgiving food drive made perfect sense: Honey often hosted large holiday gatherings in which she showered her extended family with warm and loving hospitality. She also made dinner nightly for various neighbors throughout the years. Before sitting down to a

4:30pm-sharp dinner each afternoon, one of the five McVey children would deliver a heaping plate of food (think pot roast, meatloaf, pork chops and other comfort-food classics) to an elderly neighbor across the street, an ailing friend around the corner or the widowed uncle just a few houses down. And that’s how the idea of Honey’s Angels came to fruition.

When Cathy embarked on this mission to carry on her mom’s legacy in 2006, it was a small group of family and friends who rallied to provide 17 families with all of the ingredients necessary to cook Thanksgiving dinners similar to the ones Honey lovingly prepared each year. Now Honey’s Angels provides food assistance for Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We also sponsor select meals and celebrations at Broad Street Ministry, Nativity B.V.M. Place, Mighty Writers and others. To date, we've served thousands of families and individuals thanks to the support of hundreds of friends and strangers, inspired by Honey’s kind and compassionate ways.

 

Our success simply would not be possible without our supporters’ extreme generosity and devotion to our cause. We are so proud to do what we do, and we do it all in the name of a woman who inspired us daily with small acts of kindness that made—and continue to make—major impressions.
