*It is such a Blessing to have an agency in the village of Angie that provides so much care for the members of the community. The agency that I am referring to is The Pride and Hope Ministry Family Support Agency, Myra N. Magee (Owner/Director). In addition to the personal care, daycare, restaurant and activity center, this agency has partnered with other food distribution agencies to be a monthly pickup location for the community. Having this option makes resources more easily accessible for the local community. We are grateful for the service that the Pride and Hope Ministry provides and the economic impact so needed through the employment of healthcare workers, educators and culinary professionals.
