Adopt-a-Family
The Adopt-a-Family program will launch in October 2020. In the meantime, you can support our families throughout the year, and especially those most vulnerable during the COVID-19 crisis, by making a donation online here.
The holidays can be a time of joy and togetherness, but for many low income families it is the time of year they dread. These families are already making tough decisions, such as paying their rent or purchasing groceries, so holiday gifts are often out of the question.
With your help, hundreds of Lifeline families can be supported this holiday season! The toys, clothing, gift cards, and household essentials collected for Lifeline’s families in need, help to give them a little extra help, and a very happy holidays.

Every year we have the privilege of matching individuals, families, co-workers, neighbors, churches, and companies to our Lifeline community members in need of support. We see firsthand how generous donors step up to ensure that not one person was forgotten, and for that we are truly grateful! Our Lifeline families were overwhelmed by your kindness too… here’s what some of them had to say:
