Thank you for your interest in Adopt-a-Family!

Adopt a Family is a program where sponsors/donors provide Christmas gifts for children and grocery gift cards directly to a family in need. It’s a wonderful way to share the holiday spirit and make a big difference.

Sponsor applications open in September. Families register in mid-October, and we’ll match you based on the order we receive applications and the family size you prefer. You’ll be notified by phone and email once matched.

Businesses or groups may want to consider sponsoring a large family, as these are often harder to place but a great fit for teams pooling resources.

Thank you for helping make Christmas brighter!
