About the PEC Angel Tree
The PEC Angel Tree has proudly upheld its cherished tradition in the County for several years. Despite having a fresh team of dedicated volunteers, the essence and spirit of the program remain unchanged.
Continuing this heartwarming legacy of spreading joy and making the holidays magical for families in our community is a wonderful way to be a part of something truly special. The Children's Foundation is proud to support this program again this year, further solidifying our commitment to fostering a season filled with warmth and happiness for all.
