Angel Tree at POP

Angel Tree is back! Through Prison Fellowship Angel Tree, Prince of Peace will come alongside children and families impacted by incarceration to share the love and hope of Jesus this Christmas.

Beginning Sunday, November 1, stop by the Angel Tree at Prince of Peace and choose one or more gift tags. Each tag represents a gift request for a child or caregiver.

Choose a Tag. Share Some Love!

Here's how it works:

  • Choose a tag from the Angel Tree.
  • Sign out your tag on the sheet beside the tree, including your name, contact information, and the code on your tag.
  • Purchase the requested gift. There is no set spending amount for children's gifts, so choose something that works for your budget.
  • Wrap it or leave it unwrapped. Either is fine!
  • Return your gift under the Angel Tree by Sunday, December 13, with the original tag securely attached.

Please remember to return the original tag with your gift! This helps our volunteers make sure each gift reaches the correct child or caregiver.

Important Dates

  • Sunday, November 1: Angel Tree gift tags available
  • Sunday, December 13: Deadline to return gifts
  • December 21–23: Planned gift distribution to families

There's More Than One Way to Help!

Giving a gift is just one way to participate! We still need volunteers to help organize, sort, wrap, and prepare gifts, as well as drivers to help deliver gifts to families.

Whether you have a little time or a lot, there is a place for you to help. And please continue praying for the children, caregivers, incarcerated parents, and volunteers involved in this ministry.

What is Angel Tree?

Through Prison Fellowship Angel Tree, churches come alongside children and families who have been impacted by incarceration. At Christmas, Angel Tree gives us the opportunity to remind these children that they are loved, remembered, and not alone, while helping strengthen the connection between children and their incarcerated parent.

But Angel Tree is about so much more than presents under a tree. It's about relationships. Hope. The love of Christ. It's an opportunity for our Prince of Peace family to step outside our walls and serve families in our community in a very tangible and meaningful way.

Why Does It Matter? 

For a child with an incarcerated parent, Christmas can carry some very complicated emotions. Angel Tree allows the Church to enter into that space with compassion and the message that Jesus sees them, loves them, and has not forgotten them. And while it may begin with a Christmas gift, the impact can reach far beyond Christmas morning.

Let's show these children and families what it looks like when the people of God show up with love.

How Can I Help?

Family Contact Team
Help contact caregivers to introduce Prince of Peace, confirm their participation, verify information, and learn about the children's Christmas gift wishes. 

Angel Tree & Organization Team
Prefer working behind the scenes? Perfect! Help prepare Angel tags, organize information, set up our Angel Tree, keep track of which Angels have been selected, collect gifts, and help make sure every child is accounted for. Specifically preparing tags and tracking cards, setting up the tree, and collecting and storing gifts in its program process.

Gift Wrapping & Preparation Team
This is a great choice if you'd rather serve at Prince of Peace than go out into the community. Help organize, check, wrap, label, and prepare gifts so everything is ready for our Angel Tree families. We request that people wrap their own gifts each year however we always need help with the gifts that don't get wrapped. 

Gift Delivery & Family Connection Team
These volunteers will help get gifts into the hands of Angel Tree children and represent Prince of Peace to their families.

Prayers
You don't have to make a phone call, wrap a present, or deliver a single gift to make an important contribution. Pray specifically for our Angel Tree children, their caregivers, their incarcerated parents, and the volunteers serving them.

Not Sure Where You Fit?

Whether you're comfortable meeting a new family or you'd be much happier surrounded by wrapping paper in a room at Prince of Peace, we can use you. Talk to one of the team leads by emailing
