Adam's Angels provides essential items to those experiencing hardship in our community.
The Angels touch. Every week, we distribute 300 bags of non-perishable foods around greater Santa Barbara and serve guests, individually, providing personal attention when finding clothes and gear to match their needs. During the holiday season, we prepare and serve hundreds of wholesome hot meals to anyone who wishes to join us. We have distributed hundreds of hygiene kits to low income students and at risk youth in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. We deliver groceries and meals to the home-bound elderly, and provide bicycles and cars to carefully selected individuals in need of transport.
In every act and every item we deliver, we provide human connection without judgement or expectations - reminding guest and volunteer that human kindness is our essence and there are no divides between us.
At this time, the main arms of Adam's Angels outreach in our community are:
FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY
Every week, volunteers gather to prepare hundreds of bags containing non-perishable food and drink items.
These bags are then distributed throughout the week at various locations - from Carpinteria to Goleta - directly to those in need.
Each bag contains cans of high-protein chicken or tuna, crackers, cereal bars, cookies, juices and water.
HYGIENE AND PERSONAL CARE
Personal care boosts self-esteem and self-confidence - which are essential for lifting one's life from hardship.
We provide dental, hair, body and feminine care items to adults and to local youths via the Kits4Kids program.
Hygiene items are purchased by Adam's Angels from financial gifts, or can be donated by purchasing from our Amazon wish list.
CLOTHING, SHOES AND GEAR
New and gently used clothing and shoes from our community are distributed to our guests in need.
T-shirts, sweatshirts, jeans and jackets; tennis shoes and working boots are freely given, along with blankets, sleeping bags, backpacks and others.
Adam's Angels evaluates each item for cleanliness and condition before distribution.
EYEWEAR FOR ALL
Adam's Angels special fund for providing prescription eyeglasses have helped dozens of individuals see the world through new eyes.
Adam's Angels will pay for custom prescription eyewear for those who need it most.
