Many of the families we adopt suffer from tragic life-changing events such as a fire, domestic violence, a terminally ill child, and homelessness. Without our help they will not have a Christmas. We work with the local schools’ care teams to not only provide the kids with the toys or items they want for Christmas but with any clothing, shoes/boots, and winter coats and gear. We also help the parents/guardians out with items they may need.

While working with the local school district care teams, we are to help by providing toys we collect to hand out to the families at the local schools to help more kids have Christmas presents whose parents are not able to afford presents and don’t qualify for help through other agencies. Over the past 2 years, we have helped over 700 kids.

Many times, homeless teens are often forgotten. These are teenagers who move from house to house throughout the week staying with friends or other families due to their current home situation (i.e., abuse, drugs). We work with the schools’ care teams who work with them to help these homeless teens out by providing gift cards for fast food restaurants or Walmart. These gift cards allow the teens to get meals throughout the week and pick up any basic necessities they may need as they move from house to house. We help over 25 homeless teens each year.
