"Sister Angela Daniel's dream of teaching was crushed decades ago by an energy-zapping disease, but fate sent her to a place where's she’s helped countless families feed themselves.
"I was asked if I wanted to help out here," Sister Angela said, referencing Assumption Parish on Potters Avenue in Providence.
"Back in the late 60's the parish’s food pantry was serving about two families a month. The need would grow exponentially, with almost 3,800 people fed so far this year and more than 11,000 last year."
A recent WPRI-TV "Street Stories" report profiled Sister Angela and her ministry in Providence, RI.
