Adopt a Family

Click on photo to enlarge flyer.

The holidays are a time of giving without the thought of giving back.

Many families we serve are experiencing unique challenges that keep them from providing for their families for the holidays. You can help alleviate some of that stress by helping fill a need.

This year, the Child & Family Center staff has provided a variety of ways you can help give back this holiday season and make a difference in the lives of our families.

We have over 200 families in need of holiday gifts for their children!

You can help spread holiday cheer by adopting one of these families and helping them provide gifts for each member of their household.

We have the perfect family fit for every gracious donor!

To Adopt-a-Family or for more information, email cheryl.jones@childfamilycenter.org.
