InnVision
Adopt-A-Family
Adopt-A-Family is a program that lets you
help a family celebrate the Holidays. InnVision will match your family or
organization with a family that was formerly homeless, and is now making the
difficult transition to self-sufficiency, or with a family at risk of
homelessness, enrolled in a training program to improve their skills. "Extras"
like presents and decorations, are often beyond their means at first. By
providing gifts, holiday decorations, and help with groceries, you can help a
family celebrate the holidays in their new home.
GUIDELINES:
|
Please try to provide at least two gifts per family member |
|
Gifts for different children in the same family should be equivalent in
value and size. |
|
Please include a gift certificate for groceries at a major supermarket. |
|
Make sure all gifts are LABELED with
recipient�s name, family number, and YOUR name in a way that is visible and securely
attached to the package. |
|
Try to use a consistent theme in wrapping (all have big red bows, for
example) so that they can be easily grouped. |
|
Please do not give plants or
pets (small Christmas trees are OK). |
|
Gifts must be dropped off at InnVision�s Georgia Travis Center on December
16, 17 and 18, or by special arrangement. For some
families, the drop off date will be the 16th
or the 17th. |
