Follow on Google News | JFCS Adopt a Family for the Holidays Program Seeks AdoptersA wish list for each child and the family is matched with a community member who is willing to purchase any or all items on the list that includes clothes, toys, and/or sometimes gift cards. The gifts, which qualify as a charitable donation and tax deduction, are requested to be wrapped and dropped off at JFCS’ 2688 Fruitville Road office by close of business Monday, December 9, 2013. “To know that one child will have their Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah while meeting his or her basic needs is priceless!” stated Rose Chapman, LCSW, president and CEO of JFCS. “Each year we are overwhelmed by the generosity of our community who help make the holidays brighter for our families.” The Adopt a Family for the Holidays initiative directly benefits children and families who receive services through the JFCS’ Building Strong Families Homelessness Prevention Program, Safe Alternative to Out of School Suspension Program and the Healthy Families/Healthy Children program. Each year, JFCS serves more than 700 families by providing services that help them to become self-sufficient. To adopt a family today or for more information, contact Donna McGrath at 941-366-2224, ext. 144 or e-mail dmcgrath@JFCS- End
