Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs Adopt a Family at Christmas Program

Your chance is here to “Make a Difference” to a Family in the South Okanagan!

The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs “Adopt-A-Family at Christmas” program matches families and young people with businesses, organizations, schools, service groups and individuals. Our families/youth are current members of the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs and are identified as needing support at this time of year.

Although many families quietly try to manage to make ends meet throughout the course of the year many are not able to. Christmas is a particularly difficult time for those families and young people.

For the past 7 years, we have assembled food and gift hampers for families, who due to a variety of circumstances were unable to give their family the food and gifts they would like to ensure their families experienced the joy of the season like others around them.

Last year we had over 77 families in the South Okanagan who were in need of our support and we anticipate needing to match as many families this year.

The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs Adopt a Family at Christmas sponsors are encouraged to take on the responsibility of providing Christmas breakfast, lunch and dinner for the family they are matched with.

Attached are some Adopt a Family at Christmas guidelines as well as an application form should you decide to participate this year.

We hope you will consider “Adopting a Family at Christmas” and help make a family in our community have a little brighter holiday. Thank you for bringing joy in a time of need. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 250-498-8844 or via email at lsloboda@boysandgirlsclubs.ca.
