Adopting a family allows businesses, community members and organizations to provide local families with food, necessities, and gifts during the holidays. Sponsors will specify the household size of the family they wish to adopt and will be given a choice of two families in need within our Full Service Schools network. First names, ages, clothing sizes and wish ideas are provided to sponsors so they can purchase items of their choice for each member of the household.

Wishlist items need to be delivered to the families’ Full Service Schools site no later than the extended date of Dec. 17 to ensure they can be given to the families before the DCPS holiday break. (Drop off times will need to be coordinated)
