Every child has a story. For 1.7 million American children, that story is filled with the abandonment, loneliness, and shame that comes from having a mom or dad in prison. At Angel Tree, we find ways to reach out to these children, by sharing Christ’s love with them at Christmas and by developing year-round relationships. In the end, it’s so much more than giving Christmas gifts-it’s about restoring families.
Ongoing reminder:
The last few years have become increasingly hectic as needs in our community are on the rise. Our goal is to gather items we will need throughout the year so it is not so demanding come the holidays. So I am asking you to print off the list below. If you have a couple of extra bucks and see one of these items on sale, maybe you could pick it up and we will collect them throughout the year. If you’re really adventurous, maybe you could email it to others or put a collection box at your church/business! Anyway, I really appreciate you!
