Adopting a Family
Each year, over 60 percent of our Christmas Connection families are adopted by members of the community. This is an excellent opportunity for families, offices, and clubs to participate!
Adopting a family is simple! Once adoptions open for the holiday season, all you need to do is complete an electronic request form, and our Adoption team will assign you a family that meets your specifications.
Groups, teams, and businesses are encouraged to adopt a medium to large-size family.
How Does It Work?
Complete and submit an electronic request to Adopt a Family. You may indicate the desired size of the family, and any special request such as small children, elderly, disabled, etc. on your submission form.
You may also indicate whether you wish to deliver the gifts to the family or would prefer to bring them to the Christmas Connection site. All cases are not available for direct delivery. After your adoption request is submitted, our Adoption Team will review your request and match you with a family/individual that aligns as closely with your specifications as possible. You will be sent contact information and the wish list for your adopted family/individual via email. Once you have shopped for your family, you will either deliver the gifts to the family or bring the gifts to the Christmas Connection site for delivery by the social workers.
Direct Delivery
You may request a family you can deliver to directly, however not all families are eligible for direct delivery. This determination is made by the social worker and cannot be changed. If direct delivery is approved, you will coordinate a delivery time with your adopted family.
