Mel Bangs has played an incredible, irreplaceable role at Catholic Charities Dallas through her gift of time, talent, and treasure. Since 2009, Mel has never ceased to contribute to the mission of Catholic Charities with a selfless heart. From her time with the Angels of Charity, Board of Directors, Mission Advisory Councils, and team of volunteers, she has consistently put others before herself and the community of Catholic Charities is forever grateful.

She began her volunteer work at the Saner Child Care Center alongside the Angels of Charity in her first-year involvement at Catholic Charities. Soon after, she served on the Angels Board and became president of the Angels in 2014. That same year, she joined the CCD Board of Directors and became Chairman of the Board in 2018. Since then, she has served on and chaired several committees — always calling the community to action in serving, educating, and empowering all those in need.
