Throughout the year, children also have a chance to take part in Angel Tree Camping™ or an Angel Tree Sports Clinic, where they are lifted up by caring mentors and hear about God's love, with many children accepting Jesus into their hearts for the very first time. Every year, volunteers from thousands of churches nationwide deliver Christmas gifts and a personal message to children on behalf of incarcerated parents. In situations where it is appropriate, the benefits of renewed contact between parent and child greatly influences the child's development, while at the same time reducing the likelihood of the parent reoffending after release.Īngel Tree®, a program of Prison Fellowship®, serves incarcerated parents by providing a pathway for restoring and strengthening their relationships with their children and families. When the relationships between children and their incarcerated parents are restored, the family becomes a source of love, stability, and hope.
