Adopt a Family
How it Works - RegistrationHope During Christmas
For many families, Christmas can be stressful. We want to TEAM UP WITH THE COMMUNITY to BRING HOPE and help families to provide a Christmas for their children.
Last year, our Adopt a Family program fed 180 families. However, the need continues to grow, and through our Adopt a Family Program, you can bring smiles to families during the holiday season.
The Salvation Army’s Adopt a Family Program provides essential support to families during the Christmas season such as food hampers so families can enjoy a nutritious meal and new toys, so children wake up Christmas morning elated that Santa dropped by.
