ANGELS OF LOVE COMMUNITY SERVICE
Angel’s of Love Community Service, was founded by our own Miss Gabby, to help families in need. This year’s Tiny Miss of America’s Community Service project will be Outstanding Miss of America 2026 Avery Mogan's Never Too Little! Avery created the Forget Me Not Bag initiative to bring comfort, kindness and encouragement to individuals in local memory care and hospice communities. Each bag is filled with thoughtful items to remind recipients that they are loved, valued and never alone. Inspired by her beloved Papaw Mac, who was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia (PPA), a rare form of frontotemporal dementia, Avery created this initiative to honor his memory and bring extra love to others facing similar journeys.
This year, delegates are joining Avery's mission by raising funds to provide Forget Me Not Bags to even more members of the community while also supporting The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration. Together we can honor those we love, support those facing difficult journeys, and make sure no one is forgotten. All delegates are REQUIRED to bring and donate a minimum of $25 cash. The delegate who collects and donates the most money to Avery's NEVER TOO LITTLE, will win the Angles of Love Community Service Award and will receive a custom 3' shield trophy and gift card.
