Year-Round Sponsorship
In our Year-Round Sponsorship program, you can help a struggling family routinely throughout the year. Many of our clients could benefit from quarterly help through the year; however, any assistance your family can provide is always helpful. Together with a Resource Counselor, families who are receiving services from Adopt A Family will create a list of items they need, but are having difficulty purchasing. These items may include basic household needs such as nonperishable food items, clothing or toiletries. Donors are paired with a family, purchase items on the list and deliver them to our office. Our team will make sure that the families timely receive the items.
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 have received emergency assistance from our agency are invited to prepare a wish list of gift ideas that would make their holiday season brighter.
