First Step’s Adopt A Family Fundraiser

For many families, the holidays are their favorite time of year, as friends, family, and loved ones gather for a special meal and exchange gifts. However, for those who do not have a safe, peaceful home or gifts for their children, the holiday season can be full of fear and sadness.

Many of the families we care for will be spending their holidays in our residential shelter for the first time. The transition into shelter can be challenging for survivors and their children, especially this time of year.

We are lucky to have come to know these families, their stories and show them that they are not alone and there are people who care. With your help, we can make this celebratory season a joyous one for all of our families.

By adopting a family, you will be empowering survivors to take a small step towards independence. We will use these donated funds to purchase gift cards for each family.

These gift cards will give our families the dignity to purchase gifts for their families and prepare a special meal to help make the shelter feel more like home.

We hope you will choose to participate in our Adopt a Family Fundraiser this year. Together, you and everyone here at First Step can make this yuletide a bit brighter for the families in our care.
