Services We Provide
Angel Wings Network, Inc. is committed to providing support from early diagnosis to recovery and remission. Having someone to talk to can make a world of difference when battling cancer. Talk one-on-one with one of our volunteers who has personal knowledge and understanding of what you are going through.
Ways We Can Help Provide Support
Wheels to Recovery
Patient transports are offered to our patients for a safe and reliable way to get to chemotherapy, radiation or medical appointments in Idaho and Oregon. Our friendly and reliable volunteer drivers are trained and certified to provide dependable transport.

Prayer Blankets
We offer comfort to patients/clients and family members. Blankets are assembled with love by volunteers. Each blanket is blessed with a prayer for healing and recovery, placed in a gift bag with other goodies, and delivered by a volunteer to a patient/client.
Lending Library
Our office holds a lending library full of books, brochures, and other resource material for our cancer patients to borrow. One of the highly recommended books is "Cancer, Now What" that we hope to be able to gift to patients soon. Educating yourself on your diagnosis can help to empower you! Knowledge is power!
Gas Cards
We can also help with the cost of travel for families to their cancer appointments. We also provide gas cards to our volunteer transport drivers.
Meal Gift Cards
We offer gift cards to local area restaurants. Traveling to and from treatment can sometimes be an all-day thing. To help ease the burden of added financial strain, we are happy to provide meal cards to offset the cost of eating on the go. Subway, McDonald's, Weiser Classic Candy, IHOP, and Golden Corral are among some of our generous donors of meal cards.

Cleaning for a Cause
We offer two hours per month of cleaning from one of our friendly volunteers, to help maintain a clean living environment and provide relief to the patient.
Goody Bags
We fill custom bags for patients in need with comfort and care items which are delivered to every new patient. Notebooks, journals, pens, hand sanitizer, wipes, kleenex, snacks, candy, puzzle books, and lots more!
Prosthetic and Wig Services
We have vast resources for prosthetics, bras, compression garments, wigs, scarves, caps and hats. Patients are welcome to look through what we have and use items free of charge. Each item is clean and ready to be used.
Weekly Outreach at Cancer Infusion Centers
Each week at least one volunteer performs outreach at the local infusion centers, providing comfort and support. Volunteers talk to new patients and offer services to those who wish to sign up. We also offer hand massages as a way to ease stress and bring relaxation, hard candy to help with dry mouth and nausea, comfort items, and emotional support. (Due to COVID-19, we are unable to perform outreach as of March 2020. When this service is available again, we will update this page).
Prepared Meals / Food Boxes
For our cancer patients, we offer prepared meals from the local Weiser Senior/Community Center. Meals can be picked up by a volunteer and delivered if needed. We also offer food boxes for those in need. Meal trains can also be arranged if needed.
Handmade Cloth Masks
Back in March of 2020, COVID-19 brought in a new reality. Our patients need extra protection again sickness while their immune systems are down during cancer treatment. In an effort to help, we will now be providing handmade cloth masks made by volunteers. Each patient will receive a couple of masks in their goody bag.
Emotional Support & Guidance
Sometimes simply having someone to talk to about your cancer diagnosis and the struggles you face can be a way to relieve some stress. Not everyone has someone to talk to! That is why we have dedicated volunteers who have all experienced cancer in one form or another. Our volunteers are here to support you emotionally through this fight. We can provide friendship, good listening ears, and guidance. If you are in need to advice on how to cope with the financial aspect of treatment, we can help guide you in that aspect as well. If you just need someone to listen, we are here. No one should go through this battle alone.
