The Angel Tree Program

 

Annual Angel Tree Program

For million children in the U.S., that story may be filled with the abandonment, loneliness, and shame that come from having a mom or dad in prison. For many, it may also include following their parents down the same destructive road to incarceration.

 Our focus for this particular program is very straightforward; we assist at-risk youth that have one or both parents incarcerated, through family unification.  Aside from provide an annual gift to a child, we  open the door to provide ongoing services to the Angel Tree families. 

That transitional period for being incarcerated to being a productive member of society could be a very challenging journey.  But it could also make all the difference in a child’s life and the life of their parent(s).  We assist in providing a foundational re-entry path for the mom or dad that is incarcerated. 

What we do:

1.     Provide mentoring and tutoring opportunities to the youth.

2.     Provide outside community actives:  bowling, fishing basketball, and camping.

3.     Provide Spiritual Guidance.

4.     Assist with mailing letters (writing club) and families staying in touch.

5. We provide gifts for the children at Christmas time.
