The Adopt-a-Family Program in St. Joseph, Missouri, is calling for additional adopters and donations as Christmas approaches. With only three days until the holiday, the program currently faces a pressing need, as 85 families remain unadopted and 28 individuals are on the waitlist for gifts. Local leaders from the AFL-CIO have indicated that the gift room is running low on items, prompting an urgent request for community support.
The program allows families to be adopted up until Christmas Eve, offering an opportunity for individuals and organizations to provide gifts and support to those in need. Interested participants can find the necessary adoption form on the AFL-CIO Community Services website.
In addition to adopting families, the program is appealing for monetary donations and gift items for the gift room. Community members can drop off contributions at the AFL-CIO Community Services location. These donations play a vital role in ensuring that families in need can celebrate the holiday season with joy and support.
The Adopt-a-Family initiative aims to bring together those who are willing to help and those who require assistance during the festive season. By participating in this program, community members can make a significant difference in the lives of families facing challenging circumstances.
