Making the Holiday Season a Little Brighter

“Embrace-A-Family” Making the Holiday Season a Little Brighter

Making the holiday season a little brighter.  Each year through the Embrace-a-Family Program, individuals, families, and groups in the community help ensure families in need have a joyous holiday celebration.  Many Embrace -a-Family recipients would not have Hanukkah or Christmas celebrations without this program.

How the program works.  Embracers are matched with a family in need and provide toys, clothes, food, gift certificates and more for the holiday season.  Embracers are provided with a description of the family, including gender and ages of children and their holiday wish lists.  This is a real way for you, your family, group, and/or business to make the holiday season a little brighter for a family who is struggling to make ends meet.
