Adopt A Family

Thank you to our generous donors!

We are happy to be able to offer the Adopt A Family program each year at the holidays, serving qualified participants who are receiving housing assistance through our organization. All gifts, in-kind donations, gift-cards, and cash donations dedicated to the Adopt A Family program go directly to the families and individuals served by the program.

Many of these individuals and families move from the streets or shelters into an empty house or apartment and live on very limited fixed incomes. Others have a disability and live in shared housing to make their housing affordable.

We appreciate the generosity of our donors in helping those in need in our community and for brightening the holidays for our program participants. Thank you!
