Our church has adopted families since the program
began. We usually adopt 12-15 families each year. Opportunities to
provide gifts for family members are offered as soon as information
is available. In addition food is collected for four Sundays to
split among the families. Finally, to buy added food and gifts,
money is raised through an Adopt-A-Family auction. People donate
handmade items and home made food items which are auctioned off.
Pictures of past auctions can be found here.
You can participate by providing a handmade item(s)
or home made food item to auction and attending the auction, usually
held the 2nd or 3rd Saturday in November at the church. In addition
you can help in sorting, assembling, and delivering the food and
presents to the adopted families. The program will be advertised in
the Parish Voice and Sunday bulletins or you can contact the
Outreach chairperson or the Pastor for more information.
