Vista del Camino Adopt a Family Program

It's that time of year again for us to have the opportunity to help many families in need for the holidays. For new leaders, our neighborhood has been participating in the Vista del Camino Adopt a Family program for over 14 years, sponsoring between 50-75 kids each year. I hope you and your troop will participate this year and make a huge difference to a lot of kids!

Vista del Camino Social Services provides food, clothing, and emergency assistance to Scottsdale residents in need. Many members of our community need the support of others to provide their children with a special holiday. Others may be disabled or elderly and unable to provide for themselves. Each year over 400 families are helped for Thanksgiving and 550 for Christmas.

Holiday Adopt-a-Family

The Holiday Program partners with Concerned Citizens for Community Health, a non-profit organization supporting Scottsdale residents in crisis, to host this program. Vista staff provides adopters with a brief biography about the family, including gift suggestions and sizes for the children. You are asked to provide 3 gifts chosen from the ‘wish list’ provided by each child (total spend is ~$100.) Please consider also donating a $25 grocery gift card for the Christmas dinner. If you wish to provide more for the holiday meal, please do so in the form of additional grocery gift cards (rather than one larger one.) In addition to Christmas, Vista will also honor other holiday traditions such as Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Ramadan.

Troop signup for the Adopt-a-Family Holiday Program started with our leaders' meeting in October and will run through Sunday, November 13th. I will email sponsored child information as soon as I receive our assignments.

Thank you on behalf of 100’s of families in need in Scottsdale!
We’re making the world a better place.

Halloween Candy Collection

We will be collecting Halloween Candy for the troops again as a neighborhood this year.  Drop off of the donations should be made at either Diana's or Stacey's home (check email for addresses and/or the neighborhood team roster).

We will be collecting between Nov 1st through November 3rd.  We will not be able to take donations after November 3rd.  Donations will go to Opus Orthodontics, which will be sending the candy to both military troops and also local charities if there is enough  to do that as well.
