Adopt-A-Family
Provide 2 weeks’ worth of shelf-stable foods for families this Christmas break.
Donate to give a family two weeks of groceries
For some families, Christmas break means two weeks without the school meals their children rely on. Your donation helps provide a family with food throughout the Christmas break.
Adopt a family today and help make sure their table and their children’s bellies, are full this Christmas.
Help Fill a Family’s Table Over Christmas Break
Christmas should be a time for families to enjoy being together, not a time spent worrying about whether you will be paying rent or feeding your family. Our Adopt-A-Family program is designed to ease some of that pressure by providing families with a thoughtfully planned supply of food for the entire household.
Rather than providing a few donated items, we work to give each family a complete, organized food package with enough staples, meals, and snacks to help carry them through the two-week break.
You can adopt a family in one of two ways: shop for a family yourself or donate the funds and let us do the shopping.
Option 1: Shop for a Family
Use the Adopt-A-Family list and pledge to purchase the items for that family. Each list includes specific items, quantities, and package sizes needed. Once you have completed your shopping, donations can be returned to Food For Thought by no later than December 5th, 2026.
Donors must fill out the pledge form below prior to shopping for families:
Option 2: Donate & We’ll Shop
Simply donate below and select the number of families you want to adopt.
Food For Thought will combine Adopt-A-Family donations and shop in bulk for participating families. Purchasing the food together allows us to organize items efficiently and helps ensure that each family receives the food and appropriate quantities.
