This month, ChAngels discovered a new favorite charity called Riley's Place. Riley's Place is a small farm for sick children to go to to play with animals which helps take their mind off their sickness. Riley's Place also takes animals to hospitals to cheer children up.

Riley's Place was founded because a girl named Riley got sick with a brain tumor and a month before she died, her friends brought a miniature horse to her house. When Riley saw the horse, her face lit up. Three years after Riley died, a group of people started Riley's Place in her honor and to help others like her.

ChAngels went to Riley's Place and learned how to be volunteers so we can go back and help with the animals. We learened how to walk the goats and how to take the miniature horses out to run around. We also learned how to feed the guinea pigs and bunnies, and to clean the animal stalls.

We thought that Riley's Place was a perfect project because we love to do hands on work and we love animals. We also love how they are helping children. Riley's Place was a happy place, and it is fun to spend time there. ChAngels enjoyed helping with the animals and we plan to go back regularly.

We also made a $125 donation to help them with supplies.

3rd Annual Persimmon & Baked Goods Sale

In November, ChAngels had a great time hosting our 3rd Annual Persimmon Sale. Many of our friends and neighbors stopped by to support our persimmon and baked goods sale, and we especially thank our return customers! Along with lots of persimmons, all of our tea loaves were sold, so we plan to bake even more next year.

We give 100% of the money raised to charity. Thanks for helping us reach our goal!
