Winter Warming Angel Room Crafting
The Angel Room provides an immersive and magical experience, where the young children are welcomed into an ethereal space, with soft lighting, soft music and little hand-made objects carefully placed throughout. An adult (angel-volunteer) shepherds each child through the Angel Room as the child selects one treasure to carry out with them. Volunteers make this experience possible! The entire community is invited to participate in the creation of the Angel Room by crafting the hand-made objects, setting up the room, and more. Information and volunteer sign-ups are shared in the fall.
