The Angel Tree program begins when a prisoner registers with their prison chaplain. Our church then receives a list of families and, through the generosity of our congregation, each child is provided with two gifts – a clothing item and a “fun” item. The gifts are given on behalf of the incarcerated parent at a breakfast party hosted here at VC.

Angel Tree is a partnership with Prison Fellowship, which was founded in 1982 by an ex-prisoner who witnessed firsthand the strained relationship between prisoners and their children and has grown to become the largest national outreach specifically for the children of prisoners.

Guest families will be coming the morning of Saturday, December 9 to a festive atmosphere. The families and caregivers will receive their gifts to take home.

Last year 200+ VC donors and volunteers provided 328 children with gifts and breakfast.
