Forgotten Angels

What Forgotten Angels does

Forgotten Angels Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2001 by Renee McGuire in Pearland, Texas, serving individuals with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities — referred to as 'Angels.' The organization was established after McGuire witnessed inadequate care of a friend with disabilities in 1986, and today operates a portfolio of service programs: Life Enrichment (weekly classes in worship, arts and crafts, handbell and vocal choir, game hour, and exercise); Vocational Training (job skills in packaging candy, crushing aluminum cans, scooping mint into teabags, separating pecans, packaging hygiene packs, and operating a Tea & Treats concession store); Green Angels Farm (agricultural production of seasonal vegetables, herbs, lavender, loofah, pecans, and upcoming blackberry and muscadine grape jellies); Angels in Action (recreational activities including Angel Olympics, Splash Day, Talent Show, Pearland Christmas Parade, monthly birthday parades, and community outings); Angel's Handiwork (artisan production of birdhouses, canvas artwork, woven and beaded items, and greeting cards); and the Forgotten Angels Resale Shop (a donation-based thrift store employing over 20 Angels). The organization employs 53 staff across five Pearland facilities at 3301–3309 Industrial Drive, plus a retail store at 3216 E. Broadway St., with a Respite House scheduled to open in 2026.

The organization generates revenue through four streams: charitable donations (one-time gifts, monthly recurring donations with structured tiers, Secret Santa Christmas sponsorship, and a Capital Campaign), Resale Shop retail sales (open Monday–Saturday 10am–6pm, with weekly discount days), Green Angels Farm product sales at local farmers markets, and Angels' Handiwork artisan product sales at vendor booths across Pearland and surrounding cities. The go-to-market model is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth, organic social channels (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), email newsletters, volunteer outreach, and corporate matching programs. Distribution is purely regional — Pearland, Texas and the surrounding Brazoria County area — with no geographic expansion outside a single U.S. market. Annual revenue is not publicly disclosed. Key sponsors include United Way of Brazoria County, City of Pearland, Brazoria County, Leslie L. Alexander Foundation, McCoys, Kaneka, Texas Oil Man, and Mustang Machinery.

The operating model is Christ-centered and founder-led, with Renee McGuire serving as Board Chair and daily operations managed by an Operations Director, Life Enrichment Director, Director of Resale Operations, and Development Director, supported by an independent Board of Directors. The organization is privately held with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries beyond the wholly-owned Forgotten Angels Resale Shop operating unit.
