The Little Angels Club
Keshia Roberts, Director

The Little Angels Club is a non profit organization whose purpose is to increase community awareness
pertaining to children's health and safety issues.
 

History

The Little Angels Club was founded in March 1995 by Keshia Roberts. Her daughter, Kiara, was her inspiration and is the co-founder of the organization.
The idea was to have a youth organization that would benefit boys and girls in the Humboldt area and the surrounding towns.
Mrs. Roberts saw that children in the larger cities had access to various programs so she wanted to simulate those programs for her community.

It started out with just a newsletter printed for the children and a few meetings. As time progressed, the organization started having regular meetings and had
guest speakers that delivered positive and motivational messages. With the support of the parents and the community, the club began to grow.

Past Events

Community Bicycle Rodeos
In 2002, LAC hosted Humboldt's First Community Bicycle Rodeo.
125 children received free bicycle helmets and information about safety issues.

April 19, 2003, LAC held the second Bicycle Rodeo and it was more successful than the first!
Rep. Chris Crider joined us as guest speaker for the event.

The Trenton and Humboldt Police Department assisted us with the obstacle course.
Jim Dandy and Craig Stevens of the Diamond Jaxx also added fun to the event for the children.
 
 

Booster Seat Giveaway

On March 15,  2003, LAC hosted a Booster Seat Giveaway. Wal Mart of Humboldt was kind enough to allow us to hold the event
on their parking lot and assisted with donations as well!

United Way of West TN donated the booster seats to make this event possible.
Also the Booster Seat Checkers form our local Health Departments were there to properly install the seats and check vehicles
that already had a seat in them.
The Booster Seat Checkers installed 57 booster seats and LAC distributed 200 booster seats to needy families!
