Sponsor a Family this holiday season - provide a holiday meal and gifts for each member of a struggling teen mom's family!

Here's how it works:

Florence Crittenton Services chooses a family for you and provides details about them (gender, age and gift wish). Families can range from a single parent and child up to a two-parent household with six children. As sponsor, you are asked to purchase two gifts for each family member, including adults, plus food for a holiday meal, and package it all in a plastic laundry basket. (Value: About $50 per family member.)

You can deliver the basket to your sponsored family, or our staff can pick up the basket and deliver it for you!

Three Levels of Sponsorship:

  • Sponsor a family and provide them with gifts and a meal.
  • Provide gifts for a young family.
  • Provide a food basket for a young family.

Shoplist

We suggest non-perishable food such as boxes of prepared potatoes, cans of vegetables and mixed nuts, bags of apples and oranges, hot chocolate mix, cake and icing or brownie mixes, and holiday plates and napkins. The shoplist (left) is a helpful guide.

Please include a $30 gift certificate to a local supermarket for the family to use toward turkey and pie. .
