The United Way Adopt a Family Program allows businesses, community members, groups and organizations to provide local families with gifts and necessities such as food and toiletries during the holidays. Families are identified by service agencies and they are experiencing needs due to financial instability, health issues, or other major circumstances.
Adopters will select a family from a wishlist that includes details about the family, such as clothing sizes and specific items they've requested. This year, 207 families are seeking sponsorship, representing a variety of sizes and life stages, all in need of support.
To adopt a family, get more information, or provide support for this program, contact United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties at (319) 338-7823.
