Mission Statement
Angel Flight Central assists individuals and families throughout the Midwest and upper Midwest with many different needs through the use of hundreds of volunteer pilots. We are focused on getting people in need to where they need to go at no charge.
About This Cause
Every day the phone at Angel Flight Central rings and someone, desperate and scared, shares their story. Their mother has been diagnosed with cancer but can’t afford traveling hundreds of miles for treatment every two weeks; their son is afflicted with a rare disease and the closest specialized care available is three states away. A dear friend has been in a horrific accident but can’t afford traveling to monthly therapy or their grandmother is in the last stages of her battle with disease halfway across the nation. In all of these calls, along with the overriding urgency and the barely lingering strands of hope, there is another common factor. Point A and Point B are seemingly insurmountable distances apart and there are no discernable means to traverse the two. Time after time, Angel Flight Central offers HELP and HOPE. Angel Flight Central coordinates an average of five successfully completed missions every day, assisting children and adults in accessing life-saving distant medical treatment. The impact we make on a daily basis is substantial and unwavering. Yet the scope of the service we provide remains largely unknown. The quiet, yet significant, need for this service is enormous when you consider that any of us could become quickly overwhelmed with expenses and stress in the event of a family crisis. Most of us don’t think about the need for long distance transportation for any reason other than vacation or business travel . . . until they or someone they know is faced with the fact that life-saving care is not accessible due to an inability to “get there.” A general aviation pilot is often our passengers’ last hope due to their geographic location and medical condition as much as their strained financial situation. By leveraging our resources to arrange transportation through volunteer pilots as well as the occasional airline contact, we offer general aviation pilots a unique opportunity to give back to their community by helping thousands of children and adults. To meet the needs associated with our growth and to further expand our services to those in need, we need your help today in securing our future. Our story is simple and powerful. When people do what they love, great things can be accomplished. Our volunteers repeatedly and generously share their love for flight to provide HELP and HOPE for families who are struggling financially, emotionally and physically. Please consider giving your support to help us continue our mission of “giving hope wings.”
