In December 2023 we were able to help provide Christmas for over 289 Families in our community. These families live far below the poverty line and/or in situations of distress (Low-Income Families, Single Parents, Refugees, asylum seekers, domestic abuse survivors, as well as women and children living in shelters). Each child received 2 new toys and new clothing, and each family received a Turkey and $50-75 gift card for groceries.

When you ADOPT a family you will provide the following to each Family:

  • $50 - $75 Grocery Store Gift Card

  • One new outfit PER CHILD (Up to 14 years of age)

  • Two new toys per child (suggested $ 20-25 value for each toy)

  • 1 Turkey for a nice Holiday meal

    If you have the means, we encourage you to contact your family and see if they may have any specific needs, like winter jackets, etc. (most of them do). We don’t recommend CASH donations, instead extra funds in a gift certificate for more food.

    SELECTION OF FAMILIES: We help several local organizations in the Salt Lake Valley area that help the most vulnerable individuals and families. All of the people we help live below the poverty line and/or in situations of distress (low-income, refugees, asylum seekers, domestic abuse survivors, etc.)
