A Big THANK YOU to Adopt-a-Family Donors and Volunteers!

Adopt a Family 2009 ended up being our biggest year ever! 256 doors/groups “adopted” over 1500 people in need. This number represents over 344 families, 1059 at-risk children and teens, and 444 adults—all who would have simply gone without gifts this year if it wasn’t for generous donors from our community.

 

Recipient Quotes:
“Thank you for my bike, you made my dream come true.”

“This would have been our first Christmas with nothing, if it hadn’t been for you.  Thank you so much for the wonderful, thoughtful gifts – for your generosity and for caring.”

“Thank you for adopting my family – I wish I could hug you!”

“Thank you for the presents.  I liked the movies and everything else, but what I liked most was that you made my family very happy.”
