On a volunteer basis, BCG employees &#8220;adopted a child&#8221; and purchased him or her a gift for Christmas. These gifts are then given in the name of their incarcerated parents as a reminder that they are not forgotten by their moms or dads. This year, 20 BCG employees bought gifts for 20 different children living in the Sacramento and El Dorado Counties!<\/p>\n<p>Criselda Cooper, a consultant here at Biddle, coordinates this event for our office. She had this to say about Angel Tree:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;I love being part of making a difference in someone\u2019s life whether it is to kids, people that are homeless, etc. Angle Tree is a simple way of giving back and reaching out to the community &#8211; more specifically to kids whose mom or dad (and sometimes both parents) is in prison. The simple gifts that these kids ask for could make a difference in their lives by knowing that they are loved; this to me is what Christmas means.&nbsp; My heart is happy knowing that BCG employees are overwhelmingly generous in supporting this ministry. This is something that I will be doing every year. It&#8217;s a simple way of making a difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to everyone who participated!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1390\" style=\"width: 280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1390\" class=\" wp-image-1390  \" title=\"Angel Tree Gifts \" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/angel-tree-sm.jpg\" alt=\"Angel Tree Gifts \" width=\"270\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/biddle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/angel-tree-sm.jpg 375w, https:\/\/biddle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/angel-tree-sm-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1390\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Angel Tree Gifts at Cold Springs Church<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second year, employees at Biddle Consulting Group participated in Angel Tree.&nbsp; Angel Tree reaches out to the children of prison inmates helping to meet their needs.
