PROVIDE A HAPPIER HOLIDAY FOR A NEIGHBOR IN NEED!

Every year the most conscientious, productive individuals and families Interfaith serves are nominated by staff for the Holiday Sponsor-a-Family program. The individuals and families are then anonymously matched with generous adopters who fulfill their wishes for the holiday season and provide them with comfort, support, and community.

Sponsor-a-Family is a large-scale effort requiring time, energy, and goodwill! You can be the joy that makes this the most successful year ever when you sponsor and/or volunteer your time to organize your friends, family, colleagues, classmates, faith members, and others to participate as adopters.

Spread holiday cheer!
