2025 Adopt-A-Family Sponsors Needed

The program has grown each year with more sponsors committing to “adopting” families, increasing the gifts and essentials provided.  The Adopt-A-Family program supports families experiencing some sort of crisis, by connecting them to the generosity and kindness of our sponsors who provide food, toiletries, clothing, and toys, bringing a hopeful Christmas to a family. All of our families have been referred to us from a partnering agency in Clark County.

Angel Tree Sponsors

Every year, families come to us because they are unable to provide gifts for their children at Christmas. Many times, it is caused by unemployment, medical reasons, or other hardships.  By sponsoring an Angel Tree, you will be part of making a child's Christmas that much MERRIER and BRIGHTER!  Click here to sign up your business today to receive Angel Tree tags of actual boys and girls ages 0-12 in Clark County contact Kathleen Pisors at 360-448-2880 or kathleen.pisors@usw.salvationarmy.org
