FAMILY PORTAL

Father and son sitting on stairs - Prison Fellowship Family Portal

Welcome, Angel Tree Family Members!

 

If you are raising a child who has an incarcerated parent, you probably face unique challenges that many people don’t understand. Prison Fellowship Angel Tree® is here to offer help and support throughout your journey.

 

At Christmas and throughout the year, know that you are not forgotten or alone. Jesus loves you, and Prison Fellowship Angel Tree is here for you.

Angel Tree Christmas

Your child may have received a Christmas gift from their incarcerated parent through Angel Tree Christmas. Through that gift, your child knows they are remembered by their parent in prison, and the parent-child bond is strengthened.

 

If your child has not participated in Angel Tree Christmas, you can request an application be sent to their parent. Requested link can be accessed from March to September.

Outstanding Chaplain Award

Do you know an outstanding chaplain? The Outstanding Chaplain Award, presented by Prison Fellowship®, recognizes chaplains who have gone above and beyond to serve those behind bars, working creatively and compassionately to meet the needs of those in their facility as well as their families. Anyone serving as a chaplain in corrections is eligible for the award, regardless of personal religion or facility type. Nominate someone here.

Angel Tree Camping

Kids love summer camp, and it can benefit them tremendously. At an Angel Tree partner camp, your child will experience fun activities, positive relationships, and the love of God in the great outdoors. Angel Tree scholarships mean your child can have an amazing week at overnight camp for little to no cost.

 

FIND A CAMP

Angel Tree Sports Camps

In some locations, your child may have the opportunity to attend a one-day sports camp. These camps feature professional athletes, coaches, and volunteers who will teach your kid sports fundamentals and share the hope found in Christ. And as a parent or guardian, you can attend special breakout sessions, where you will enjoy meaningful discussion and the chance to connect with others who are raising children with an incarcerated parent. Sports camps are currently hosted in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City, Washington D.C., and more!

Resources for Families of Prisoners

Children’s Resources

When a parent goes to prison, it’s common for kids to experience anxiety, anger, sadness, or feelings of loneliness and abandonment. But opening a dialogue with your child can help them process their feelings. We’ve compiled a list of books to help you do exactly that.
