The FAME ANGEL TREE DRIVE FOR FOSTER CHILDREN has been in existence since 1989. The number of children we service is usually about 350 - 400, however this year, due to the poor economy and so much despair, those numbers are higher. This year we serviced some 500 children.

These children are from 6 agencies around the City of Los Angeles, as well as a number of foster families through our church.

The agencies are: Families for Children Foster Family Agency, Pacesetters Foster Association, Dangerfield Institute for Urban Problems, Orange County Children's Foundation, Greatest Love Foster Agency, and Excel Foster Family Agency.

Please know that every year, GOD's love is so clearly seen through the generous giving of our congregation to these special children. Miracles happen every season ...and it is because their hearts are open to doing the LORD's work, to bless these children in wonderful ways. We so greatly appreciate the Members of First AME Church of Los Angeles, and thank them for letting GOD use them in such a mighty way.

Thank You Lord!  Merry Christmas.
