DOTHAN: For children of an incarcerated parent, the holidays can be an especially hard time. Healthy You Inc. is hoping to bring joy to those affected by incarceration with an Angel Tree for the 93 children of the ladies incarcerated at the Houston County Jail. 


 

Volunteers who would like to participate will be given the name of a child, along with that child’s age, interests and hobbies. They will then purchase one present for the incarcerated mother to give to her child for Christmas. The gifts will be distributed on December 22. One of Healthy You’s goals is family reunification and the Angel Tree will give incarcerated mothers a chance to connect with their children for Christmas. 

 

The original Angel Tree program was founded by formerly incarcerated Alabamian Mary Kay Beard. Beard held the first Angel Tree for children of incarcerated parents in Birmingham in the 70s. The program is now international. 

 

If you would like to participate in the Angel Tree by purchasing a present, wrapping or distributing gifts, please call 334-671-7774.

 


Healthy You Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit formed in 2010 in Dothan. The mission of Healthy You, Inc. is to enhance quality of life for citizens of Alabama through educational health initiatives and public awareness campaigns teaching personal responsibility when making lifestyle choices. For more information, please call 334-671-7774.
