2024 Holiday Program and Warm Coat Drive

About the Coat Drive

Adopt A Family of Marin is again partnering with Equator Coffees for our Warm Coat Drive Campaign! Together we will collect new, warm coats for our families. Please consider donating a NEW, warm coat of any size so that our neighbors can be warm this winter.

Coats can be delivered to an Equator Cafe between November 12 and December 6th.

Coats can also be delivered directly to the Adopt A Family office. Please make sure the coats are both (1) new and (2) warm.

About the Holiday Program

Our holiday program is a tradition for many Bay Area families, businesses, churches, synagogues and schools. Every year, with the help of hundreds of continuing and first-time donors, we provide a warm holiday for Marin families in need. In the fall, families who received emergency assistance from our agency are invited to prepare a wish list of gift ideas that would make their holiday season brighter.

Donors who sign up to adopt a family for the holidays are paired with a family and their wish list. The donors purchase gifts, wrap them and deliver them to the Adopt A Family office during designated drop off hours.

Our office is located at 35 Mitchell, Suite 16 in San Rafael, California. We ask that donors provide at least three (3) gifts per family member. Additionally, a gift card to a local grocery store is given to every family that is adopted for the holidays. Donors either include this in their donation or we add it at the time that they drop off their gifts.

Join us in this wonderful holiday experience! Questions about our Holiday Program can be directed to holiday@adoptafamily.org.

How much will I spend?

This varies from group to group. However, we ask that you purchase at least three gifts per family member. Each gift idea listed on the family’s wish list will be valued at or under $100.
