What Exactly Is Involved? |
Angel Tree Christmas begins with the informed, enthusiastic support of pastors or other church leaders in individual congregations. These leaders determine the potential size of the Angel Tree Christmas ministry in the church, how many children the church will serve, and assess the number of volunteers necessary to make the program a success.
 Using posters and bulletin inserts provided by Angel Tree, churches spread the word about Angel Tree Christmas to their congregations and solicit participation. Common volunteer job opportunities include: calling the caregiver to verify gift wishes, setting up for Angel Tree Sunday, serving as table attendants to collect tracking cards and answer questions, gift wrappers, gift deliverers, and prayer warriors.
Angel Tree provides church coordinators with a list of children to be served by that congregation. The coordinators contact the families of the children and arrange what gifts are to be purchased, and when they can be delivered. Volunteers choose the name of the children for whom they will be buying gifts.
Once all the gifts have been purchased and wrapped, it's time to deliver the gifts directly to the families' homes or host a party at the church. Along with the gifts, volunteers share the good news of Jesus Christ with the children and their families. Angel Tree will provide you with several evangelism resources for this task.
