Adopt a Family for the Holidays

Bring Joy this Holiday Season!

The holiday season is upon us. Yet, for many homeless youth and families who have fled from domestic violence, this magical time of year is especially difficult. Women, children, youth and men in crisis arrive at our shelters and offices shaken by trauma and anxious about their future. Through the spirit of giving, you help bring joy and hope to the individuals, families and youth who come through our doors every day.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are doing things a bit differently. The safety of our participants, team and YOU are our top priority; therefore, we are asking for gift cards instead of wish list items this year. Please mail or drop off your gift cards (recommended at least $100 per individual or family member) from stores such as Walmart, Target, Food-4-Less, etc. We are committed to bringing joy, hope and safety during this challenging time!

To support these individuals and families through this difficult time, Women’s Center-Youth & Family Services asks you to adopt a family.

Please complete the registration form to be matched with a family or individual in need.
