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 established in 1986 and initially focused on helping farmworker migrants that were living in the canyons of North San Diego County. Since then, our work has expanded to include humanitarian work along the entire US-Mexico border.

Our Work
We conduct water drops in the desert, support migrant shelters in Tijuana, Mexico, reach out to day laborers, free asylum seekers from detention, provide legal representation to vulnerable children in order to obtain green cards, and coordinate educational programs and community presentations.
Border Angels Presents: love has no borders
Over thirty years ago, Border Angels began its humanitarian journey to provide lifesaving aid to immigrants from all over the world. What started as a group of caring people providing aid to migrant farm workers, has now grown into an organization made up of a professional staff, and thousands of volunteers. These humanitarians not only save lives by placing jugs of water and food along unknown paths through the mountains and desert, they give financial, and physical assistance to numerous shelters who serve thousands of international immigrants every day. In addition, they provide legal aid, educational programs for both children and adults, give support to laborers, and even return home the bodies of those who die risking everything for a better life.
All of these are Border Angels, and this is their story.
