Opportunity Details

2023 Adopt-a-Family for the Holidays

Every child looks forward to the holidays, but for parents who are struggling to care for a child battling cancer or another life-threatening illness, there's no time for shopping or even thinking about gifts. Volunteers can make sure local children have an opportunity to celebrate the holidays by taking part in the Holiday Adopt-A-Family Program.

Volunteers are matched with a child or children who are facing an illness and are sent their wish lists to fulfill. Volunteers can choose to buy one gift for one child or several gifts for several children. Friends of Karen includes gift-wrapping materials when it sends the volunteers' gift(s) to the child's family, though donations of gift wrap, tape, bows, and holiday candy are always welcome!

This is a perfect opportunity for families and groups looking to make a difference in the life of an ill child and their families for the holiday season. Express interest below!
