November 30 - December 2, 2021
​
Statistically, children and youth in foster care face overwhelmingly negative outcomes - but at
​Bakersfield Angels, we truly believe it doesn't have to be this way.

​This holiday giving season, we hope you'll join us in our efforts to change the stats.

We Need Your Help.
​
​There are over 400,000 children and youth in foster care in the United States who are faced with the challenges listed above. Bakersfield Angels' dream is to radically transform the way children, youth and families experience care. And we will not stop until each one is surrounded by a supportive community, steered away from negative outcomes, and empowered to succeed.

​GivingTuesday - which falls on November 30th this year - is a GLOBAL movement in which the whole world comes together to give, collaborate, and celebrate acts of good. Our dreams are big and our vision is strong, so we've decided to extend this annual day of giving to a three-day Give-A-Thon, for triple the impact!

Your Gift is an Investment in their Futures.

PLACEMENT STABILITY
​
We wrap community around the
entire family - both caregivers and children. We want children to feel a sense of belonging, safe, and valued, and caregivers to feel equipped and supported to continue fostering.

EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT
​
By supporting and equipping caregivers, children are more likely to stay in placement longer and not fall behind on their education. And our dedicated mentors work with youth one-on-one to guide them through important milestones, like graduating high school and planning for life after foster care.

LIFE SKILLS
​
Our mentors provide youth with healthy relationships and resources they need to learn important life skills, complete their education, secure a job, find a place to live, and build a life for themselves.

​“The Angels just give me that guarantee that ‘You
​can do this, you don’t have to give up, you can keep going, ​you don’t have to be another statistic ​of the system.'”
