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!

Interested in Adopting A Family in 2018?

Step 1: Sign up & get a wish list

Simply let us know that you are interested in becoming an Adopt A Family donor by filling out the interest form below, and we’ll be in touch with you. You can sign up as an individual or a group. Adopt A Family is also a great giving and team building opportunity for companies and organizations.

Another way to get involved in Adopt A Family is to organize a collection drive with your business or community group for cleaning supplies and personal care items. You can make a difference by providing these basic necessities which we distribute to those in need throughout the year.  Fill out the interest form and start collecting items from this basic necessities list.

 

Step 2: Shop for gifts

  • We recommend spending no more than $100 per recipient
  • Shop anywhere you’d like – use your coupon-cutting skills!
  • All items must be new purchases

Step 3: Wrap & label your gifts

  • Wrap each gift individuallyAdopted A Family gifts
  • You can use gift bags, wrapping paper, or any other festive wrapping
  • Label each gift individually with the participant’s first name and last initial along with the number that has been assigned to them. This information will be on the wish lists.
  • CHN will provide printed labels, but you can use your own if you prefer.

Step 4: Deliver gifts to CHN

Wrapped and labeled gifts can be dropped off at our distribution centers no later than Monday, December 3, 2018. Gifts for recipients in Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties:

  • Community Housing Network Troy distribution center (same building as our Troy office, but a different suite)
  • 570 Kirts Blvd., Troy,  MI  48084
  • Drop Off: 2018 Gift drop off dates will be determined fall 2018
  • Please park in the rear of the building to easily reach the distribution center

Make a cash donation to Adopt A Family

If you don’t have time to shop and wrap, you can still support Adopt A Family. Cash donations are accepted throughout the year and are used to shop for families and individuals who aren’t adopted and to help support some of the minimal costs of operating the program.
