Each year the Knox County Homeless Coalition holds its Adopt-A-Family program, giving community members like you an opportunity to purchase holiday gifts for the courageous families we serve in the Midcoast region. We invite you to participate in our 6th annual Adopt-A-Family program this year—with a few modifications as we do our best to comply with current CDC recommendations for public safety during COVID-19. Our client care team is helping more people than ever before—over 600 individuals, half of whom are children. We hope you’ll join us as we bring hope, joy, love, and peace to families who need it most this holiday season.
There are two ways you can bring joy:1) If you are interested in adopting a family, please order from the online Amazon.com wishlist (https://www.amazon.com/hz/
2) If you would like to help with locally-sourced gifts, or just have our elves do the shopping, we gladly accept donations. Our team of elves will purchase gift certificates for special local experiences or items, such as a family night at the movies, dinner at a local restaurant, haircuts etc. To make a monetary donation, please go to https://www.homehelphope.org/
Chief Executive Elf Lynn, who has organized the program for the last 3 years said, “We always start out in September wondering how we’re going to pull off so many Christmas miracles but somehow every year it all comes together just in the nick of time! We really do have a very caring community.”
Due to shipping delays, we ask that people please try to order or donate before November 29 so that gifts can be received in time for the holidays.
