Even though we aren't taking physical donations at the moment, we are still providing much help to shelters in need!
Despite the growing challenges of this pandemic, Border Angels remains determined to protect and support the community we have pledged to serve. Therefore, even though we are currently unable to accept physical donations, we are always accepting monetary donations to support:

1. Our Shelter Aid Program❤️: Especially now that we are unable to receive these items, we need your help to provide funds for groceries, hygiene products, utility bills, rent, clothes, etc.!

2. Familias Reunidas Bond Program👨‍👩‍👧: Given the severity of this outbreak, we NEED to get as many members out of the Otay Mesa Detention Center as we can, and with your help we can post bond for more individuals! (Link in highlights under Bond Program)

3. Water Drop Program
💧
: Even after having to postpone public water drops, our team is still constantly in the desert scouting and dropping the supplies necessary for survival. Their work never stops, because the need never stops.

Thank you for your continued support.🖤🦋

Border Angels in the News

Since social distancing is in effect, listening to a podcast is a great option!

"The corona virus and it’s economic consequences will likely impact migrant populations in Tijuana heavily, and for Dulce García that means this quarantine is no time for rest. Dulce is the new Executive Director of Border Angels. She is an immigration lawyer, a DACA recipient, and one of the key people behind the lawsuit against the Trump Administration to reinstate DACA. We recorded a conversation with Dulce before the global pandemic took hold. Since we’re all working from home now, we thought it was important to get on the phone with Dulce to hear how this virus is impacting the work Border Angels does in the region, and her biggest concerns moving forward. You can hear the whole conversation in our new episode, wherever you listen to podcasts. Stay safe y’all 🙏🏽" - @onlyherepodcast
