Adopt a Family for the 2017 Holidays!
From Mechelle Wortham
Please share the following opportunity to give with your staff!
Adopt a Family for the 2017 Holidays!
For nearly 36 years, district staff, local businesses, and community groups have assisted in supporting families by ???adopting??? them for the holidays. District social workers/counselors submit names of families in need who are part of the KCKPS community. These families are in need of assistance, yet do not qualify for help from other agencies.
That???s where the ???Adopt-a-Family??? program comes into place. Check out all the ways to participate as a department, building, individual or part of an organization:
Adopt a family. (A list of individuals will be provided before the Thanksgiving break with age, size, and gender of children and their needs/wants. Staff can shop and return all items to Mechelle Wortham at the Central Office. The gifts will be delivered to the family by social workers/counselors.) Gifts should be wrapped and labeled with the appropriate names in a large trash bag with the form attached on the outside.
Donate learning games, books, toys, hats, gloves, socks. (Contact Mechelle for specific needs. These will be used as gifts, so plan accordingly).
Donate gift cards from local grocery stores or department stores. (Thank you for understanding that cash donations will not be accepted.)
Make a donation or adopt-a-family ???in honor of??? friends or colleagues. (This is accomplished by donating gift cards or needed items to support a family. A gift enclosure card will be provided so give to friends or family members being honored.)
Donors will receive a shopping list via email by Thursday, November 16. Items need to be purchased, wrapped and delivered to Mechelle Wortham at the Central Office by Friday, December 8. Social workers and counselors will pick up and deliver items to families prior to winter break.
Please contact Mechelle Wortham with questions, (913) 627-4356, Mechelle.Wortham@kckps.org.
