Wesley House is seeking sponsors for their Holiday Adopt-a-Family gifting campaign.
Adopt-a-Family is a specific gift drive for the clients of Wesley House: children who are in foster care, families who are intact but at-risk, and families in the Healthy Families program.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to include their children in giving back to those less fortunate or a larger group or business to give collectively,” said Grace Epperly, Wesley House development coordinator.
Wesley House asks the children for specific gift requests and provides each sponsor with their clothing and shoe sizes as well as some items for the caregiver or caregivers. The sponsor decides on the number of people to help and how much to spend.
This year, the number of families has doubled. Wesley House has 301 families in need.
More information, including how to sign up to sponsor a family, is at wesleyhouse.org/christmas, or from Epperly at 305-809-5000. The deadline to sponsor a family is Oct. 17.
