THEIR STORY
Dedication and Service
The Angie & Avery Foundation is a nonprofit organization that was originally established in 2021 as a result of the tragic murder of Avery McQueen. The following year, we lost Angie (Avery’s youngest sister due to a chronic heart condition.) Therefore, we decided to forge their names under one banner to honor their legacy.
​
The Angie & Avery Foundation Inc. provides toiletries, food, Christmas gifts, winter clothing, & back to school supplies to those in need. We will also produce annual educational events such as Spelling Bee Competitions & Space Exhibitions, & Family gatherings. The foundation will also provide opportunities to showcase local talent by producing annual fashion shows, a musicals, pageantry & kids prom. The Angie & Avery Foundation Inc. plans to provide scholarships and legal information.
The President (Debra McQueen) of the Angie & Avery Foundation is the mother to Angie & Avery and she has one living child (Danielle McQueen-Reed), who is the eldest sister of Avery & Angie as well as the acting director of The Angie & Avery Foundation.
​
Angie dedicated her life to raising her 3 children and opening her home to care for other families in need. Angie lost her life to chronic heart failure January 5th 2022. Angie was 37 years old. Her legacy and memory lives on through her children Jayden, Brooklyn, Michael, her mother Debra, sister Danielle, brother in law Edward, niece Destini, niece Amor, niece Peyton, niece Naihla, nephew Isaac, family and friends, and the families we serve.
​
Avery dedicated his life to helping to care for his nieces, nephews, and little cousins while serving his community. Whenever someone was in need and Avery could help, he did. His boss said that, "Avery was dependable." Avery was murdered December 17th 2020 at the age of 36. His legacy and memory lives on through his nephew Jayden, niece, Brooklyn, nephew Michael, his mother Debra, sister Danielle, brother in law Edward, niece Destini, niece Peyton, niece Naihla, nephew Isaac, family and friends, and the families we serve.
​
We know that Avery & Angie are continuing to smile down on us and their memories are a light and a reminder to love and serve. In (2021) we served 25 children for Christmas and in (2022) we doubled that number to 50 children.
