Thank you for your support for our annual Adopt-a-Family project!
Pima has been participating in this project for decades, and each year we sponsor more than 25 Scottsdale children whose families live in poverty. The Adopt-a-Family program is run by the City of Scottsdale. Families are interviewed by city social workers, who record children’s requests for three gifts for the winter holidays. Susan Vargas will email assignment information to you in mid-November. Every effort is made to match troops with a child near their age if they request it.
You purchase at least three gifts for a total value of at least $130 for each child based on their wish list. You also provide a $50 gift card to the family’s grocery store to help provide a holiday meal. Troops frequently supplement the three main gifts with clothing and/or stocking stuffers, and sometimes also include a small gift for the parents such as cleaning supplies. Many troops also include gift wrap, bows, and tape for the families. All gifts are given to the families unwrapped, so the parents can have the pleasure and dignity of wrapping their own children’s gifts. The total expenditure per sponsored child is at minimum $180.
You will drop off a donor report and all the gifts, bagged and labelled for each recipient to Susan Vargas's home on Saturday December 13 or Sunday December 14. Thank you for making a child's holiday special!
