Adopt-A-Family

This program allows agencies, companies, group or families to adopt a family that accessed our services at one point during this past year. We have families of all sizes ready to be adopted. Once the size of the family has been chosen by the agency or group then the Christmas Coordinator contacts the family and asks her if she would like her family to be adopted for Christmas. The Coordinator then requests a wish list from her and her children indicating 10 to 12 items on each list along with their favourite colours and sizes. These lists are then provided to the contact person who is adopting the family and they can pick and choose the items that will be provided to the family. We also request that Christmas dinner items be provided for the family and encourage any non-perishable food items and/or household products. Once the gifts are delivered to the YWCA by the agency/group, the coordinator then contacts the family for them to pick up the donations. Everything is kept confidential. No names are exchanged. Most of the families are starting their lives over with very little; therefore anything that can be provided to make their Christmas special is greatly appreciated.
