Our story

"Neighbors helping neighbors, one ride and one visit at a time."

Volunteers of ANGELS of McGregor

ANGELS was formed in 2004 to coordinate transportation for seniors. Today volunteers also handle chores, home safety checks, friendly visits, foot care clinics, the Voice of the ANGELS newsletter and Operation Christmas.

Our history

What began as a handful of neighbors offering rides has grown into a year-round circle of volunteer support across Aitkin County.

  1. 2004

    ANGELS — Area Neighbors Giving Elderly Live-in Services — is founded in McGregor to coordinate volunteer rides for seniors who could no longer drive themselves.

  2. Growing years

    Requests for help widen beyond rides. Volunteers begin taking on yardwork, snow removal and small home repairs so neighbors can stay in their own homes.

  3. Home safety & visiting

    In-home assessments and friendly visiting are added, pairing volunteers with neighbors who are homebound, recovering or feeling isolated.

  4. Health & community programs

    Regular foot care clinics, Alzheimer's support groups and educational programs bring seniors together and connect families with resources.

  5. Today

    Volunteers keep the work going year-round, along with the Voice of the ANGELS newsletter and Operation Christmas for area seniors.
