For over 30 years, the Department of Public Social Services’ (DPSS) Adopt-A-Family Program has brought joy to families during the holiday season. Last year the Adopt-A-Family Program provided gifts of clothing, toys, food and other items to over 845 families.

Sponsors are matched with a family and given a family profile including names, ages and specific needs of each family member. Requests include grocery items, clothing, gift certificates, food baskets and toys.

Sponsoring a family is a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays. It is a great project for families, co-workers, organizations, clubs and schools. You can make a difference in our community by remembering the true meaning of the holiday season. Thank you for your continued support of this worthwhile program.
