Adopt-A-Family

During the holiday season, families of children with complex medical needs often face not only emotional and physical challenges but also significant financial hardship. Children’s Clinics’ Adopt-A-Family program offers support and relief during this difficult time by anonymously pairing these families with donors who want to bring comfort and joy to their children.

Through this program, families receive gifts and essential items carefully selected from their holiday wish lists, helping ease the burden and brighten their celebrations. Sponsors can shop directly for the family or make a cash donation, and our team will purchase the items on their behalf.

Each year, Children’s Clinics helps families in need enjoy a special holiday. Through the Adopt-A-Family program, businesses, groups, and individuals can spread holiday cheer and goodwill by supporting a family in need.

We will match you with a family based on the level of support you are willing to provide, enabling you to make their holidays truly blessed.

Our families are categorized into 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, if you chose to support a family of four (two adults & two children), you would commit to giving $100 for food, $200 worth of new clothes/toys for the children, and $100 for the parents/household. A total of $400 for the family.

KEY DATES: 
  • TBA October 2026: Registration for sponsors opens
  • TBA December 2026: Wrapped gifts delivered to Children’s Clinics for distribution to families.

Once you receive your family assignment, you or your group will be responsible for meeting the sponsorship requirements for your assigned family. If you prefer not to shop, there is also the option to donate cash funds directly.

Sponsors may also choose to add extra items or gift certificates, but we request that you avoid large-ticket items such as gaming systems or large TVs.

*Please note that all items MUST be NEW. We cannot accept gently used items for our families, as many of our children are immunocompromised and face higher health risks.
