The foundation, established in 2006 by Liz Brewer, focuses on providing practical support to families during their most challenging times. Its mission encompasses connecting families with local businesses for essential repairs, offering assistance in paying utility bills, and supplying gift cards for everyday needs to those facing financial hardship.

Guests attending the gala will enjoy live music, an Italian-themed dinner, an open bar, and participate in a silent auction.

The occasion will also recognize volunteers from the Angel Gift Shop and the Junior Angels program.
The Angel Foundation’s services are designed to quickly respond to families in need, often providing assistance within 24 hours after assessing their specific circumstances. Recently, the foundation showcased its rapid response capabilities by helping hurricane survivors after Hurricanes Helene and Milton. During this relief effort, volunteers provided over 500 hot meals and distributed essential supplies to families devastated by the storms.
In addition to its direct assistance programs, the foundation operates the Angel Gift Shop at HCA Florida Brandon Hospital. All proceeds from this shop are directed towards supporting the foundation’s mission. By relying on community donations and volunteer efforts, the organization continues to make a significant impact on the lives of local families.
Individuals interested in supporting the foundation can do so by donating or volunteering through its website. The foundation’s office is located at 1210 Millennium Parkway #2010 in Brandon, and the public can reach them at 813-689-6889 for more information.
