Welcome to the Angel Society of Fallbrook

The Angel Society of Fallbrook, California is a nonprofit philanthropic organization that raises funds for our community primarily through the operation of the Angel Shop. Located in downtown Fallbrook, our popular thrift store is managed and staffed entirely by volunteers. The Angel Society celebrated 46 years of service to the community this year. We are extremely proud of our record of giving more than $4.8 million to support local nonprofits and other worthy causes.

The Angel Society of Fallbrook was originally founded in 1956 as a chapter of the Children’s Home Society, a statewide adoption agency. However, many of Fallbrook's needs were not being met by any agency or support group. In 1978, the members voted to become an independent organization with the primary goal of raising funds for the greater Fallbrook community. Within the next seven years, they contributed nearly $182,000 to Fallbrook charities and received widespread recognition for their fundraising efforts. In fact, they even received a letter of commendation from President Ronald Reagan. Since then, the Angel Society made a significant contribution of $50,000 toward the reconstruction of the Fallbrook Library, among other worthy projects.

Angel Shop

Philanthropic funds are raised through members’ dues, donations and many hours of hard work in the Angel Shop, our all-volunteer managed thrift store in downtown Fallbrook. Members of the community are encouraged to donate gently-used clothing for children, women and men, accessories and shoes, jewelry, vintage items, household goods, collectibles, small appliances and treasures to the Angel shop
