Thank you for your interest in the Adopt A Family program.
The purpose of this program s to provide toys, clothing and food to the families that have applied for assistance. This year we would like to have 50 of our 650 families adopted. Those interested in participating in the program are assigned a family. They are provided with the information of a family that they can adopt. They are provided with children's toy wishes. Specific needs of the family such as: "shoes for the children, kitchen items, blankets, etc."Should you decide to adopt, we would like for you to provide toys for the children under 12 years of age. If you see it proper, to consider also proving clothes for the children and in some cases the adults.
