HOLIDAY ADOPT-A-FAMILY PROGRAM
Each year during the holiday season, Upward Transitions is contacted
by families in need hoping to be adopted for the holidays.
Upward Transitions' Adopt-A-Family program matches impoverished families
with individual or group sponsors to provide for their tangible needs during the holidays. Without the benefit of an adoption, these families would be facing a joyless holiday.
Sponsors come in many shapes and sizes.
They can be individuals, families, small businesses or large corporations.
In many of the larger corporations, different departments often each adopt a family.
Many sponsors find the experience so fulfilling
they participate in the program year after year.
Families also come in all shapes and sizes.
Depending on your adoption budget, an Upward Transitions staff member
will partner you with a deserving family.
You may elect to purchase gifts for:
- Children Only
- Children and Parents (Legal Guardians)
- Include a Holiday Meal with Your Gifts
Once we have partnered you with a family(ies), Upward Transitions staff
will provide you with your family's(ies') wish list so you can start shopping!
After you have shopped and wrapped until you drop,
the gifts can be delivered to the Upward Transition office for distribution to your family. If you have any special requests, please be sure to provide that information
to the Upward Transitions staff.
All donations should be received by Friday December 16th
at the Upward Transitions office.
