Adopt a Child

We are so grateful that you're considering to adopt a child for our Holiday Drive! There are 220+ children living in the shelters we serve this holiday season and we expect that number to rise.

If you choose to adopt a child, you can expect to spend $50 - $100 for each child. That includes one new top (shirt, sweater, sweatshirt) and one new bottom (jeans, pants, sweatpants) and a gift valued at $30. Please do not include used items/clothes.

All items must be received by 12/15 @ 11AM and can be dropped off at our office or mailed in. Please be sure all gifts for one child are all together in a bag with the donor’s name and child’s ID# on the outside. Detailed drop-off information is provided upon signup. In years past, we have allowed donors to bring last minute gifts after the deadline and/or on wrapping day. Because of the nature of our delivery schedule, we are unable to accommodate this going forward.

Any children whose donations are not in by 12/15 @ 11 AM will be treated as unadopted and gifts will be purchased by our staff. We appreciate our donors and their willingness to give during the holiday season.

If you are looking for a different way to get involved in our holiday project, there are other ways you can help! You can donate stocking stuffers, Target gift cards (send to ashley@empower4lifemd.org), monetary donations, or your time on our Annual Wrapping Day.
