Help Bring Holiday Cheer to 18 Norfolk, VA Kids

Children who have an incarcerated parent are the victims nobody sees.

Every year, The Four Rivers Project works with the Norfolk Police Department to try and give one gift to each child and supply the makings for a family holiday meal.

These children will wake up to a sad and empty Christmas morning without our help.

This year, we hope to give the gift of a happy holiday to 18 children from 10 families who need a good meal as well.

We are excited about Angel Tree 2024. It all starts with a gift at Christmas for children of incarcerated parents. We invite your help to make this an unforgettable Christmas for some of those children. We have partnered with the Prison Fellowship Ministry, since 2012, a national organization. In 2022 and 2023, we served 87 children in various Norfolk zip codes.

Angel Tree children face many challenges, including painful separations from a loved one. Our Angel Tree project helps children stay connected to their parents, despite difficult circumstances. You can help with this spectacular project that starts with a Gift from an incarcerated parent.

This year, we have twenty-six children and nine families you can help a child receive a gift from a parent who is not there. As we get closer to Christmas our numbers usually grow.

Thank you in advance for your time and for being an Angel.

You may purchase a toy or clothing and drop it off for gift wrap on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, or Wednesday, December 18, 2024, from 3:00 PM until 9:00 PM drop-off hours at 2833 Villa Circle Norfolk 23504. Call ahead for curbside pick-up at [phone redacted].
