Who we are… The Circle of Angels Initiative, inc., incorporated in 1999. We are a non-profit association. Our small business is within an office in the regional area of Washington, D. C. serving the people of Calvert County and southern Maryland. In addition to addressing local issues, it also has missions assisting third world nations with the purity message, food, clothing, books and other items.

What we do… The Circle works in the fields of teen pregnancy, domestic violence and chemical addiction prevention and will work, as called, to help people who are in crisis because of these situations. We are faith-based, pointing to Jesus as the only One who is reliable to help people in their crisis. We work with the aged, mentally ill, and have mentored adults from other countries.

Because of our interest in youth and their unique challenges, we were instrumental in the creation of a mentoring partnership and in the program started with Calvert County’s Sheriff Evans. Sheriff Evans created, through our direct efforts, opportunities for the deputies of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office to mentor youth. In addition, there have been other programs implemented by other important community leaders in our area.

We have been recognized for our efforts by the Offices of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives on both the federal and state level. The Circle was invited as one of 250 to the 50th anniversary of the Small Business Administration where President Bush was the keynote speaker; more recently, the Circle has been privileged to be invited by the Governor and Lt. Governor of the State of Maryland to attend the Heroes in Our Midst luncheon and invitees only conferences on housing initiatives, community empowerment initiatives and women’s issues.
