Allen County Children Services is seeking sponsors for our annual Christmas program, Adopt-A-Family, that brings gifts to 200 children annually.
The program serves children and their families with open cases with our agency. We match sponsors which consists of groups, businesses, families and individuals with the children and families we serve.
The sponsors will receive a “wish list” to shop from, wrap the presents and either deliver the gifts, themselves, or drop the presents off at our agency for us to deliver.
You can sign up to be a sponsor by downloading an application from our website at AllenCSB.com or by contacting Greg Sowinski at Allen County Children Services at 419-227-8590 Ext. 1130 or by email at Greg.Sowinski@JFS.Ohio.gov Applications are due Nov. 3.
This program relies completely on the generosity of people and groups in our community to brighten the Holidays for children and their family. Many of the families we have struggle throughout the year and Christmas just adds to that struggle as well as the stress. This program helps remove the stress and struggles of the parents having to provide Christmas to children and allows them to have a happy Holiday season.
We also take monetary donations to the program for those unable to purchase gifts. Please make your check payable to “Allen County Children Services” and write “Adopt A Family” in the memo section.
