Adopt a family for the holidays. You don’t have to work alone. Giving is fun when doing it together. Consider partnering with your department, group of friends, or student organizations.
How do I adopt a family? Sign up for a family through the slots below. We have two types of adoption this year. Our traditional family adoptions are what we have done in the past for larger, multigenerational families or those with children. For those that do not want to adopt an entire family or want to make a small donation of food or gift card, we have our golden girls list. In the form below, identify the family or families by number (i.e., f-8, GG1). Once we know who you want to adopt, we will reach out to the family and obtain a wish list that we will send you to help you identify the family needs and requests.
Who will deliver the items? Consider having the gifts are shipped directly to the home of the family through Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. Please have the items arrive at the home no later than December 15th.
Can the office deliver items will you deliver? Our office will deliver to a few homes. Please ask to confirm. If the office is dropping off the items, we need them wrapped and labeled no later than December 15th.

PFF Golden Girls
This list consists of women who have been giving to our program for decades. Although we have many volunteers who have participated for many years, this group of women have been hit hard this year by the hurricanes, house fires, health problems, and extended hospitalizations. Many of them live on a fixed, social security income because they stayed home and took care of disabled members of their family and/or children. So, when hard times hit, they hit very hard for these families.
We are asking for care baskets, socks, blankets, books, small food donation or gift card to lighted their load a little this year.
