Holiday Adopt-a-Family Program
Vista del Camino
Vista del Camino (part of City of Scottsdale 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
Vista partners with Scottsdale Community Partners, 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/child). Please also donate a $25 grocery gift card for the holiday 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 Holiday Adopt-a-Family Program is through Monday, November 13. I will email sponsored child information as soon as I receive our assignments. Gifts are due by Monday, December 11.
Thank you on behalf of 100’s of families in need in Scottsdale!
We’re making the world a better place.
Holly Snopko, Troop 1265
