Idyllwild HELP Center Services Administrator Colleen Meyer and her kids, Peyton, 11, Brynnley, 4, and Caden, 2, set up Angel Christmas Trees at BBVA Compass Bank and in the back of the Idyllwild Library by the fireplace Monday morning. These trees have tags with presents or items that children are looking for that their families might not be able to afford this holiday season. Anyone in the community can take one of the tags and purchase the item at a store, returning the present with the tag to the Idyllwild HELP Center. This act of kindness may make that one child’s holiday season a bright one. Photo by Jenny Kirchner
