Adopt-a-Family

Giving the Gift of Hope

The Adopt-a-Family program, originally suggested by HPC supporters, has provided Lower Cape children with holiday gifts for nearly 15 years. This year, we were able to give 284 children from 130 families gifts of toys, clothes and bikes. Without the generosity of our community, these kids would not have had their Christmas wishes come true. Thank you to everyone who helped last year; please put us on your Christmas list next year!

 

How It Works

Our case managers work with our clients, as well as local schools and churches, to identify families in need. We then match these families with community members and organizations who want to provide gifts for them.

Although our clients' full names and records are completely confidential, we offer first names, ages of children, and share their gift wish lists. After these families are "adopted", each donor decides what they'd like to give and either shops for the gifts or provides the cash and we will do the shopping.

Every fall HPC looks to the community for donations - of time, gifts and cash, to make this program the huge success that it is. To get involved, please contact us. On behalf of all the families helped by HPC, thank you!
