PRISON FELLOWSHIP: Angel Tree

Thousands of children with a parent in prison attend free events through Prison Fellowship Angel Tree. Uber stepped in to help get them there.

Going to prison removed Reggie from his children’s lives, but Angel Tree has helped him reconnect as a father. Now he's helping other prisoners do the same.

As Prison Fellowship Angel Tree turns 40, the legacy of one former safecracker is irrefutable proof of the potential that’s behind bars, just waiting to come to light.

Legal troubles were part of Michelle’s family legacy, so when her boss asked for her “help” with the company’s taxes, it just seemed par for the course.

We’ve gathered four resources every person needs as they plan for a prison visit, whether visiting a loved one or serving as a volunteer.

Angel Tree volunteer Nedra has 21 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren—but there’s always enough love for more.

Seventy percent of prisoners’ children have caregivers who are over the age of 50. Many of these caregivers are grandparents. This Grandparents Day, we want to honor those family members who care for youth while their moms and dads are away.

Every year, thousands of prisoners’ kids attend summer camps through Angel Tree Camping. Angel is one of those kids, and for her, camp has been a refuge.

Every December, Angel Tree Volunteers deliver Christmas gifts to children on behalf of their incarcerated parents. You never really know who is going to answer when you knock on a stranger’s door, but Angel Tree volunteers know to just roll with it and let God lead.
