Adopt A Teen Holiday Event

What an unbelievable show of community, compassion, and collective heart. This year’s Adopt-A-Teen event was our biggest and brightest yet and the numbers tell a story worth celebrating:

✨ 300+ community members donated at least one item — many donated more than one!

✨ 20+ groups came together to help make the season brighter.

✨ 89 volunteers showed up in person to wrap gifts with love.

✨ 12 board members and VIP volunteers sorted and organized donations.

✨ COUNTLESS boxes arrived — and we truly mean countless!

✨ 143 rolls of wrapping paper and 90 rolls of tape used to make every gift feel special.

✨ 89 piles of gifts delivered to foster youth in congregate care and to former foster youth ages 18–24.

Every number represents a moment of hope, a reminder that these young people are seen, valued, and supported. Thank you to every donor, volunteer, and partner who made this happen. Together, we turned what is often the hardest time of year into something filled with love, dignity, and joy. 💛🎄
