About Us

What is a Wednesday Angel?

Welcome to Wednesdays Angels, where our love for food meets a passion for caring. We are a dedicated group of foodies committed to making a positive impact by addressing hunger among homeless animals and their companions in the vibrant communities of Downtown Dallas, Lakewood, and Pleasant Grove.

Every Wednesday, we transform our love for culinary delights into tangible support by distributing nourishing supplies to those who need them most. Our mission is fueled by the belief that everyone, whether human or animal, deserves access to food and care. Through our efforts, we strive to create a community where compassion and sustenance go hand in hand.

Join us on this fulfilling journey as we serve our community with heart, one meal at a time. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that all beings are fed with love and respect.
