Adopt-A-Family Project
Another Successful Year of Adopt a Family Complete
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our volunteers, donors and business partners, nearly 500 local families had their Christmas wishes filled through Adopt A Family - receiving warm clothes, blankets, certificates for food and gifts for their children.
Magic happens in our community when we connect for good! We’re here everyday to help you find the perfect way to Really Connect with causes you care about. What to help make that happen? Consider an end of the year donation to the Volunteer Center. Donate to the Volunteer Center.
