Adopt-A-Family Program

Save to Favorites

Individuals, groups and local businesses can all participate in this joyous and gratifying program as sponsors. Sponsors are provided with the "adoptee family's" contact information along with their "wish list" of requested items. These items range from grocery items, clothing, gift wishes, or toy requests. The 'Spirit of Giving' is contagious and numerous volunteers who in past years have participated in this program have voiced this heartfelt sentiment. Sponsors enjoy participating in the program so greatly that some gather together family, friends, and co-workers and hold "gift basket parties" where each person contributes items and their personal touch to the specially prepared holiday baskets. This activity is fun for the sponsors and a delight for the families to receive!
