Angel Tree Seeks to fill an Urgent Need this Christmas

It Starts with a Gift. And today, the gift starts with you.

Every child has a story. For 1.5 million American children, that story is filled with the abandonment, loneliness, and shame that come from having a mom or dad in prison.

This Christmas, Angel Tree seeks to reach 400,000 children of prisoners with gifts and the Gospel. In most cases, these children will be served directly by churches in their own communities that will make a personal connection through home visits or church-sponsored Christmas parties.

Unfortunately, about 50,000 children whose imprisoned parents signed up for Angel Tree live in areas with little or no church involvement. But Angel Tree has a way to reach them, too!

This year, for the first time, YOU can help by sponsoring one of these hard-to-reach children. Your donation will ensure that a gift is shipped to the child, along with the Gospel message and a personal note from his or her incarcerated parent.

Please visit AngelTree.org/ShareTheGift to select the age, gender, and state of the child that you will share God's love with this Christmas.

With your help we can ensure that all of the children are served.

Thank you,
Angle Tree
