Honoring Grieving Children with Compassion and Joy

​

The Holiday Angel Tree is a heartfelt annual program created for children who have experienced the loss of a parent. Held each December, this event helps normalize grief during the holiday season and reminds children that they are seen, remembered, and supported.

​

Each participating child submits a personal gift wish list, and—thanks to the generosity of individuals and local businesses—they receive items from that list, along with thoughtful extras and meaningful surprises.

​

In addition to receiving gifts, children and their families are invited to attend a special holiday gathering—a warm, supportive space where they can connect with others who understand their journey. This celebration offers comfort, joy, and community at a time when those things matter most.

​

More than just a gift exchange, Holiday Angel Tree is a moment of healing and togetherness for families navigating grief.
