2024 Angel Tree

Be an Angel

This holiday season, you can be part of a new beginning for the students at Red Barn Academy, a multi-year life skills academy dedicated to transforming lives through character development and accountability. Our students work every day toward “whole-person change,” building integrity and a future they can be proud of.

For many, the joy of Christmas has been out of reach. Some have never experienced the simple joy of unwrapping a gift or decorating a tree. With your help, we want to change that. This year, we’re creating an Angel Tree to bring hope to each of our 80 students, with 85 expected by Christmas. By sponsoring a student or giving what you can, you’ll provide a special gift and a reminder that they’re not alone on this journey.

This Christmas, you can be an Angel for a student at Red Barn Academy, helping bring the holiday spirit to those who’ve never truly experienced it. We’re looking for donors to shop for each student, providing new gifts, just their size, bought specifically for them.

The “Horns to Halos” Angel Tree program represents the incredible transformation happening at Red Barn Academy. Our students, once weighed down by past mistakes, are now working hard to build a better future through accountability and personal growth. By supporting this program, you’re helping show them that their past doesn’t define them. With your generosity, we can make this holiday season one of hope, joy, and a reminder that everyone has the chance to start fresh. Your gift will not only bring a smile to a student’s face but also reaffirm the progress they’ve made.

Each donation will provide essential items: a pair of pants, shoes, a sweatshirt, sweatpants, a flannel, a pack of underwear, socks, and a shaving kit. These gifts will offer warmth, dignity, and a sense of care to each of the men in our program.

If you’d like to be an Angel, you can either donate directly on our site, or shop for these specific items and bring them to our campus in Farmington. Anything you contribute will make a difference, reminding these men that they’re supported on their journey of transformation.

$300/student: $300 provides one student with essential gifts, including shoes, sweatpants and a sweatshirt, pants and a flannel, a shaving kit, and socks & underwear.

A vital part of my recovery

“I have been attending activities and many other groups at Red Barn Farms for almost 2 years. This has been a vital part of my recovery and the amazing life I now enjoy. Amazing staff that are always willing to help in any way possible. Thanks for being a part of my recovery.”

Truly does save lives and families

“Red Barn Farms and Red Barn Academy is a great example of a therapeutic community that truly does save lives and families. I have several family members who struggle with substance abuse issues, and lost my sister to a drug overdose last year. This is the first program I have seen that offers the right support people need to recover. As a community, we need to bind together to support their efforts so that they can expand and serve more men and women who deserve the opportunity to be their best self and for their families to be whole.”
