The choices that lead to a prison sentence, as well as the distance created by incarceration, can strain a prisoner’s family ties to the breaking point. At Christmas, the emotional pain of a loved one’s incarceration grows even more intense; the distance is felt by children and parents alike.
Angel Tree Christmas gives incarcerated parents a way to provide a Christmas gift and a personal message, delivered by caring, local volunteers, as a tangible representation of their love.
This year, Hands of New Hope, with the generous support of our donors and partners, is working to provide a Merry Christmas to 168 children. On December 13th, we will be mailing out $25 Target gift cards to children of incarcerated parents in Long Beach and Blythe, California.
To help, or donate, please get in touch with Alicia “Peachez” Wade at awade@nhhinc.org, or visit our donation page.
Hands of New Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides resources and develops programs to serve the needs of families, seniors, and youths in the underserved communities of the City of Long Beach.
