Adopt a Family this Holiday Season
As families struggle to provide for their children, adopting them and providing for them brings such a needed blessing for their lives. The holidays can be a hard time for those in our program, but your generosity lifts their spirits every year. We encourage you to a Adopt a Family in our programs by supplying them with gift cards or items they need throughout the year. Gift cards are a great way to give, because they allow the families in our programs flexibility to respond to critical needs as they arise.

My husband and I are so grateful to have the gift of knowing that our child has everything he needs to be healthy and happy, and to grow and thrive—we wish this for every parent and child, and it’s heartbreaking to know that there are innocent little ones in our own community who don’t have the very basic necessities, not to mention the security of home, that every child should have. So we hope our contribution will help Doorways come a little bit closer to its goal of addressing the desperate needs of families in crisis.
