Items List
volunteer
- Adopt a Family
- Adopt a family, child, or children and purchase items from their wish list.
- How it Works . . .
- 1) You tell me the age/ages and how many boys/girls you wish to shop for.
- 2) I match you with a family or child/children on my adoptee list. You'll be given a list of items with sizes (if applicable). Usually this comes out to be around 4-6 items per child to shop for.
- * Note: The entire list is not mandatory but recommended as some children have siblings that someone else may have adopted so I keep the gifts equal within the families.
- 3) You shop for NEW items listed for the child you have been assigned to adopt.
- 4) Wrap the gifts and place a gift tag with the "To:" part filled out to the recipient. Leave the "From:" part blank.
- 5) Place the wrapped and tagged gift in black garbage bags so they can't be identified by the children.
- 6) Deliver to the appropriate agency.
- 7) If the caseworker is picking up gifts from you, I will schedule a day and time that is convenient for you.
