Give The Gift of Giving with F&CA's Adopt A Family Program.

For millions of American families, there will be no Christmas this year.  The sad truth is that an increasing number of families simply do not have money for Christmas presents or any other luxuries right now.  This Christmas, a lot of American families will be deciding whether to spend the little money that they do have on food, heat or medicine.  
Adopting a family this holiday season can bring love and cheer to the homes of the unfortunate families trying to make ends meet. Some children simply want a warm winter coat to wear to school, or their first pair of brand new jeans. Every child deserves their favorite action hero game or the  prettiest doll dream house. 

We're preparing for the upcoming holiday season by launching our annual Adopt-A-Family program that meets the hopes and dreams of our clients.  We invite our friends to adopt whole families, homeless youth or isolated seniors by purchasing holiday gifts and treats.  Whether big or small, each one of our clients is hoping for a little holiday cheer from caring people like you.

It's fun!  You'll receive a short story and wish list from your family that includes mostly modest, practical household items or clothing and toys.  You can enjoy the thrill of purchasing these gifts knowing that your efforts will bring joy and happiness to a struggling child, senior or family.

We are currently compiling “Wish List” requests from the youngsters, parents, and seniors in our programs so we can match with each donor’s areas of interest.  This is also a great bonding experience for entire families, co-workers and friends who enjoy making wishes come true.

To make one families holiday season a time they will never forget and for a good reason, open your hearts to a family in need.
