Angel Tree
About Angel Tree
Angel Tree, a ministry of Prison Fellowship, seeks to connect parents in prison with their children. By purchasing, wrapping, and delivering gifts to kids on behalf of the incarcerated parent, we help remind children of the love their mom or dad has for them. This ministry provides us the opportunity to build genuine friendships and to encourage the parent in prison, the child, and their caregivers with the love of Jesus.
SAME PURPOSE, DIFFERENT PROCESS, SAME PEOPLE
We again have a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate love to numerous families through our Angel Tree ministry. There are a number of ways that you can be involved and together we will further build genuine friendships and expand our opportunities to encourage children in our community, a parent in prison, and caregivers with the love of Jesus.

We always need help with the various steps involved in readying the gifts for delivery. See the info table in the Narthex or contact the lead organizer to sign up for one or more of the following:
BIBLES FOR FAMILES
We have the opportunity to bless new Angel Tree families with a family Bible that matches the ages of their children. Please feel free to pick up a “Bible Donation” envelope at the Angel Tree table and help us put the Good News of Jesus in the laps of these little ones and their caregivers. If you would like to donate online, please make a note that it is for “Angel Tree Bibles.”.
ANGEL TREE SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE
The start of a new school year is an exciting time for kids!
Towards the end of every summer, we collect backpacks and school supplies. In August, we host a Back to School Event for the kids and their families, and give them brand new backpacks stocked with just the right supplies for each child.
HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
BUY A BACKPACK
Sign up in person at the table in the Narthex on a Sunday morning during the drive.
DONATE SUPPLIES
Every year we publish a list of needed supplies that can be dropped off at the info table or shipped directly from our Amazon list to the church house during the drive.
