WHY WE SERVE
Faith expressed through action.
Our Christian faith is at the heart of City of Angels.
We believe every child has value, every person deserves dignity, and love becomes most meaningful when it moves us to serve.
For us, faith means showing up.
It means feeding someone who is hungry, listening to a struggling family, caring for a child, opening our doors, sharing what we have, and continuing to believe that difficult circumstances do not have to determine someone’s future.
“Look after orphans and widows in their distress…” — James 1:27
PEOPLE, NOT NUMBERS
Every number represents a child, a family and a story.
Some families come to COA because they need food.
Some need school supplies.
Some need someone to listen.
Some children need a safe place to live.
And many simply need to know that someone will continue showing up.
That is what we want City of Angels to be:
A place of care, dignity, opportunity, faith and hope.

Don’t Forget Your Passports and Car Insurance
A passport or passport card is now required to re-enter the U.S. from Mexico for all travelers over 16. For more information, go to the http://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/western-hemisphere-travel-initiative
From time to time, Mexican Border Officials are asking to randomly see passports at the border and asking people to fill out a tourist visa card, just like every other country in the world. Since you have your passport for US entry this shouldn’t be a problem, we just wanted to let you know. We would love have you visit and we want it to go as smoothly as possible.
Mexican Car Insurance
We strongly suggest you purchase at least basic liability insurance when visiting Mexico (it is not legal to drive without it).
Visit: Baja Bound Mexican Insurance
Also: Van Rentals
If you are thinking of renting vans for your group we recommend ASAP Rentals out of San Diego. They will deliver the vans to wherever you may need in the San Diego County including the airport.
You can also purchase Mexican car insurance through them for the vans you rent. Here is their website: http://www.asaprentavan.com/
One other great rental company is: California Rental Baja, they have great options including 4 wheel drives and they also offer Mexican Insurance. They can be reached at: http://cabaja.com/
