Last week, (19) of our Alumni Group met at In & Out Burgers in Newhall for our first ever Angel Tree gift giveaway.
Angel Tree is a ministry of Prison Fellowship, which allows those who are incarcerated to buy Christmas Gifts for their children. Studies have found that if you can keep a relationship between incarcerated parents and their children intact this will help to keep those children from ending up behind bars… Angel Tree coordinates with volunteers to go out and buy and then deliver those Christmas gifts to the children, always reminding them that the gifts are from their fathers (or mothers).

We found out that one of the kids had moved to Oakland. Not wanting to disappoint that child, we drove up to Oakland and dropped off our last gift.
It was a great time of fellowship. Thanks to everyone who was involved. We look forward to what God will do with HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS in 2012. We wish everyone a Happy New Year.
