Adopt-n-Shop Program More than 100 families still need to be adopted!

Adopting a family is one of the most rewarding ways to make a difference during the holiday season. Families who are registered through the Home for the Holidays Program can select to be adopted by individuals, organizations, or businesses. Their information – including names, children’s names and ages, gift preferences, and more – is provided to the adopter. Adopters then go shopping, wrap gifts, and supply goods (sometimes even food) to their adoptees.

Adopt as many families as you would like. This is a great exercise for businesses and nonprofits who want to get their employees involved in making a difference. Families can adopt other families. Click here to apply:
