The holidays are a time for many to celebrate, to spend time with family and friends. We work to ensure the same holiday joy for the children, young adults and families in our programs. Every year from November through December we collect gifts for those we serve through our Angel Tree Program.

We continue to be grateful for the success of this program. Last year, our community partners, individual donors and corporate sponsors provided holiday gifts for over 1,000 children and their families. It is incredibly difficult to put into words what these gifts mean, to those who may feel forgotten as they are working hard to recover from complex trauma because of abuse. The holidays are often a challenging time for system involved children, it can be a reminder of the situation they are in, the pain they are dealing with and whatever loss they may have experienced.

The gifts from the generosity of our supporters provide the children, young adults and families we serve, the opportunity to have a moment to feel joy, a moment to feel cared for and a moment to feel seen.

Please know that 100% of all Crittenton Angel Tree donations are tax deductible and go directly to the children and families who are receiving services from our various programs. You should also know that we continue to take an individual approach to our client’s holiday wish list, each Christmas wish is specifically requested by the child, young adult or family.

Below please find the various ways that you can help, thank you for your partnership, that makes a difference in the lives of others one gift at a time.
