Christmas Adopt a Family Program
Sharing the love of Christ through the giving of Christmas gifts to struggling families in our community.
INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN ADOPT A FAMILY?
There are a few ways by which you can participate:
ADOPT A FAMILY: You will be assigned a family and given a list that includes clothing sizes, interests, wish list items etc. Individuals and/or groups then provide whatever items they are able to for that family based on their information. (While we operate on a “do what you can” basis, family adoption typically involves anywhere from 3-5 gifts/per child)
2. GIFT PURCHASE: Purchase toys, bikes, or clothes to be distributed by NHLB as needed.
3. VOLUNTEER: During the week of Dec. 11th-16th, sign up to help sort, package, prepare and distribute gifts to the families. OPPORTUNITIES TO VOLUNTEER:
SHOP & SORT: Dec. 14th beginning at 8:30 am, volunteers will meet to help shop for any remaining needs with the funds donated to the program. We will also be sorting and packaging the gifts for distribution. Come help for as long as you want. Lunch will be provided.
DISTRIBUTION NIGHT: Dec. 16th 6pm -7:30pm. This is a special night where we will distribute the gifts to the families. We provide a meal and an experience that communicates God’s love and offers a little joy during the holiday season. From luminary lighting, to food prep, to gift loading, we will need many hands to make this night a success!
*** Both events held at Trinity Church in Covington. 19380 N. 10th Street. More info will be sent out to volunteers when the events draw closer to Distribution Week***
4. FINANCIAL DONATION: Make a financial donation that will be used by the NHLB staff to purchase gifts for families in need.
