The Child & Family Center Adopt-a-Family program brought the warmth and joy of the recent holiday season to 160 families and 185 teens.

“This success was made possible by the generosity of our community, with special thanks to the individuals, businesses and organizations who stepped forward as lead supporters… adopting families, fulfilling wish lists and helping meet families’ greatest needs with compassion and care,” said Child & Family officials. “Through our Adopt a Family program, 160 families experienced warmth, relief, and joy during the holidays, and 185 teens received gift cards so they could choose something meaningful for themselves.

A Child & Family Center care team shared this moment after two brothers received bicycles:

“These two siblings have experienced so much change and uncertainty in a very short time. When they received their bikes, their faces lit up instantly. They began talking excitedly about future adventures and simple moments like family bike rides. Those bikes became more than gifts, they restored joy, routine, and a sense of safety.”
