Celebrating 20 Years of Paper Angels

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Paper Angels program, and we couldn’t have done it without you! For two decades, your generosity has brought holiday joy and comfort to thousands of children, families, and individuals served by Child & Family Services.


Each gift given through Paper Angels represents more than a present — it’s a reminder that someone cares, that our community sees and supports one another through the holidays and beyond.


As we kick off this special 20th year, we invite you to once again be part of this tradition of kindness and connection.


At Child & Family Services, we serve people of all ages and walks of life — children in foster care and their foster parents, natural parents working toward reunification, grandparents caring for grandchildren, teens and young adults facing homelessness, and clients in counseling who are experiencing extreme hardship.


We do our best to match donors with their preferred age ranges, but in the true spirit of giving, we ask that you remain open to supporting any of our community members who may be struggling this season.


Together, we can make sure everyone we serve feels seen, supported, and cared for.
