Mission Statement
King's Angels is on a mission to love every child in Bexar county. We provide resources and service connections in order to eliminate stressors that could potentially lead to child abuse. Our number one goal is to be the voice of every child in need in Bexar County.
Description
We started in January 2019 when baby King Jay was found deceased at the hands of someone he trusted. He was only 8 months old at his time of death. We started with his brothers- provided everything we could to change their lives and bless them during a time of extreme tragedy.
it wasn’t long before we realized that we could do the same for other at-risk children.
Since January, we have implemented multiple programs- our major two programs are King's Closet (distribution of diapers, wipes, socks, and underwear) and Mental Health/ Therapy for at-risk families.
We prioritize our families on a case by case basis. Emergency situations are taken care of immediately and foster children are a priority as they are at an increased risk for abuse.
