Adopt-A-Family

During the holiday season, Children’s Clinics’ Adopt-A-Family program assists selected families in need by anonymously matching them with program donors who wish to brighten the lives of our children and their families. 

This program will provide families with gifts and necessities selected from the family’s holiday wish list. 

 

Sponsor Application
Family Application

Each year, Children’s Clinics helps families that are struggling, or in need enjoy a special holiday. Through the Adopt-A-Family program, businesses, groups, and many other people can spread holiday cheer and goodwill by assisting a family.

We will help pair you with a family that meets the provision you are willing to give, and you can help make the holidays a truly blessed occasion.

Our families are broken up into categories of Small (1-2 children), Medium (3-4 children), and Large (5-6 children). You may choose the family size you feel comfortable supporting.

COSTS PER FAMILY: 
  • $100 food gift card (local grocery store that the family names)
  • $100 per child worth of new clothing/toys
  • $100 for the parent(s)/household (i.e. bed sheets, steel-toed work boots, silverware, etc.) 

For example: A family of four (two adults & two children) would receive $100 for food, $200 worth of new clothes/toys for the children, and $100 for the parents/household. 

KEY DATES: 
  • December 7 – 8: Unwrapped gifts delivered to Children’s Clinics for distribution to families.
  • December 13: Gift-wrapping party at Children’s Clinics (see sign up below)
