Adopt-A-Family
During the holiday season, Children’s Clinics’ Adopt-A-Family program supports families in need by anonymously pairing them with donors who want to bring joy to our children and their families.
This program provides families with gifts and essentials chosen from their holiday wish lists. Sponsors can either shop for the family themselves or make a cash donation and we will do the shopping for you.
Sponsorship Application
Each year, Children’s Clinics helps families in need enjoy a special holiday. Through the Adopt-A-Family program, businesses, groups, and individuals can spread holiday cheer and goodwill by assisting a family.
We will match you with a family based on the level of support you are willing to provide, enabling you to make their holidays truly blessed.
Our families are categorized into Small (1-2 children), Medium (3-4 children), and Large (5-6 children). You may choose the family size you feel comfortable supporting.
COSTS PER FAMILY:
- $100 food gift card (local grocery store that the family names)
- $100 per child worth of new clothing/toys
- $100 for the parent(s)/household (i.e. bed sheets, steel-toed work boots, silverware, etc.)
For example: A family of four (two adults & two children) would receive $100 for food, $200 worth of new clothes/toys for the children, and $100 for the parents/household.
- Dec. 12 & 13: Wrapped gifts delivered to Children’s Clinics for distribution to families.
Once you receive your family assignment, you or your group will be responsible for meeting the sponsorship requirements for your assigned family. If you prefer not to shop, there is also the option to donate cash funds directly.
Sponsors may also choose to add extra items or gift certificates, but we request that you avoid large-ticket items such as gaming systems or large TVs.
*Please note that all items MUST be NEW. We cannot accept gently used items for our families, as many of our children are immunocompromised and face higher health risks.
Holiday Toy Market
Would You Like To Donate A NEW Toy For Our Event?
We host a Holiday Toy Market event for our families at our location every year assuring that our patients and their siblings all receive a toy for the holidays.
You may donate to our toy fund to help purchase toys for all ages and needs (i.e. switch adaptive toys and sensory toys) for the event. OR, you may order off our Amazon Wish List.
If you would like to host a toy drive at your office or business, please contact Amy Serafin, Development & Communications Specialist at amy.serafin@childrensclinics.org
