100920 Malta Holy AngelsBELMONT — The Order of Malta has donated $50,000 to Holy Angels to provide for unforeseen and unbudgeted medical supplies and equipment including PPE supplies to protect Holy Angels residents, who are medically fragile, and the staff who care for them.

Members of the order made a symbolic presentation of the grant to Regina Moody, Holy Angels CEO, during their recent Holy Angels Carolina Classic Golf Tournament.

In accepting the check, Moody expressed her gratitude to the Order of Malta for its support during this unprecedented time: “Since early March, it has been our primary goal to care for and protect our vulnerable residents. We continue to face each challenge with faith over fear.”
