Our Mission
San Diego Foster Angels is a volunteer based 501(c)(3) organization, supported by community and corporate donations. 100% of our donations go towards funding our events. Our mission is to provide joy to foster and at-risk children’s lives by supporting their ongoing needs and wishes.
For over 18 years, The Annual Good Cheer Gift Giving Party has been making the holiday season a reality to hundreds of children who might not celebrate the holidays otherwise, allowing them to eat treats, drink beverages and celebrate the mutual love and happiness of the holidays together with people who care . Many of these children have siblings in the foster care system who they only see at these events, making it truly special for them.
In addition, we coordinate with other San Diego non-profits in identifying children’s needs and using our community, corporate sponsors and volunteers to fulfill the gaps in the system.

A Sense of Permanence
"The notion of permanency is important. Some of our youth do not go to forever homes, but in this program they do make a connection. Their feedback has been, ‘Now I know I have someone to call when I’m in trouble.’
— Lilian Nguyen, Child Welfare Executive Assistant with San Diego County Health & Human Services
