adopt a familyAdopt A Family Holiday Program

If you need help for the holidays, we can match your family with donors who want to help create a more joyful holiday season for you and your children.

To sign up for Adopt a Family, you must have children 17 or under; each child who wants to participate in the program must write her/his own personal letter to our Holiday Helpers telling about their interests, hobbies, and what they would like for the holidays; as the parent, you must write a thank you to your Holiday Helper when you pick up your gifts; and, each child in the program must write (or draw) her/his own thank you letter after the holidays to their Holiday Helper, making special note of the gifts they received. Holiday donors really appreciate these personal expressions from your children. Remember, all they know about you is whatever you and your children share in your letters.

We have a limited number of spaces for the program, so you must sign up in advance.
