​MISSION ​STATEMENT:
​The Bakersfield Angels' mission is to walk alongside children, youth, and families in the foster care community by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship.

OUR MISSION

​​​​National Angels is a 501(c)3 organization, tax ID# 27-2087142. est. 2010

THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 2,000 CHILDREN AND YOUTH EXPERIENCING FOSTER CARE HERE IN KERN COUNTY.
National Angels chapters are building communities of people all across the country that are literally changing the way children, youth, and families experience foster care. Passionate donors, volunteers, mentors, partners, and advocates across the nation are all ripples in the sea of change for our foster care community.​

​National Angels has 21 active chapters in 15 states, with even more waiting to get started.

1 out of 5 foster youth become homeless at age 18

50% of foster homes close within the first year

140 youth between the ages of 18-21 age out of foster
care annually in Kern County, with limited resources or family ties​

​60% of youth formerly in care fall below the poverty line, despite earning an income

​But we believe it doesn't have to be this way.
