Our Mission
Border Angels promotes a culture of love through advocacy, education, by creating a social consciousness, and engaging in direct action to defend the rights of migrants and refugees.
Our History
Border Angels was founded in 1986 with a mission rooted in compassion and justice. The organization began by supporting farmworker migrants living in the canyons of North San Diego County, providing essential resources and advocating for their rights. Over the decades, our work has grown in response to the evolving needs of the immigrant community. Today, we provide life-saving humanitarian aid along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, continuing our commitment to dignity, safety, and love for all people on the move.
"Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world. "

Our Work
We conduct life-saving water drops in the desert, support migrant shelters in Tijuana, reach out to day laborers with resources and advocacy, and help free asylum seekers from detention. We also assist with funeral and transportation expenses for migrants who have tragically died during their journey, helping their families bring them home with dignity. Additionally, we lead educational programs and community presentations to raise awareness about immigration and human rights.
THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS FOR MAKING THIS WORK POSSIBLE!
