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 by the Holiday Adopt a Family Program.
The Holiday Program is hosted by the City of Scottsdale Human Services Division with Scottsdale Community Partners, a non-profit organization supporting Scottsdale residents in crisis. Vista del Camino staff provides adopters with a brief biography about the family, including gift suggestions and sizes for the children. You are asked to purchase 3 gifts chosen from the ‘wish list’ provided by each child (total spend is ~$100.) Please also donate a $30 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 is now through Monday, October 28th.
We will email sponsored child information as soon as we receive our assignments.
Thank you on behalf of 100s of families in need in Scottsdale!
We’re making the world a better place.
