ADOPT A FAMILY - WE ADOPT 3-5 FAMILIES EACH YEAR FOR 52 WEEKS. MOST OF OUR FAMILIES ARE SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES OR FAMILIES WITH MAJOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. WE ASSIST FAMILIES WITH EXPENSES SUCH AS FOOD, GAS, HOUSEHOLD SUPPLIES, CAR REPAIR, TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE, HOME REPAIR, HOLIDAY GIFTS, RENT ASSISTANCE, DAYCARE OR MEDICAL EXPENSES.

TREE PLANTING - AS A LIVING MEMORIAL, WE DONATE AND PLANT TREES TO FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE. WHILE OUR FOCUS IS ON FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST CHILDREN, WE ALSO DONATE AND PLANT TREES FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE LOST PARENTS. EACH FAMILY RECEIVES A 10-14 FT MAPLE TREE AND AN ENGRAVED MARKER FOR THE TREE. 55 TREES WERE PLANTED IN 2020.
