Frequently Asked Questions for Donors
Each family will be provided with gift cards to help them purchase gifts, groceries, and other needed items. Items frequently needed include bedding, grocery gift cards, kitchen tools, clothing, and more.
All Adopt-a-Family recipients currently receive services at Closer to Home, families who have been referred by a community partner agency, and families currently experiencing crisis who meet our eligibility criteria.
After the 2020 holiday season forced a change in our Adopt-a-Family process of receiving items for families, we requested feedback from our stakeholders (including donors, gift recipients and support workers) about how it went for families served. As a result of those conversations, Closer to Home recognized that financial donations are the most impactful and meaningful way we can support our families through community giving.
Giving gift cards to deserving families empowers them to make decisions that best meet their families’ immediate needs.
Thank you for participating in this vital initiative to support vulnerable families!
To help even more families, Closer to Home has created this special fund that will support families in need year-round. The Seasons of Hope Fund will help families avoid eviction, keep the lights on at home, put food on their tables, and more. Not only will you be supporting a family at Christmas time, but a portion of your donation will be pooled with others to support multiple families year-round.
Each family will be provided with a package of gift cards to help them purchase gifts and groceries for their family.
