Adopt-A-Shelter & Give Joy!
The best part of UASF’s holiday gift program
You (and your family, friends, group, business, church, community, etc) are invited to be Angels for children in dire need this holiday season by Adopting a Shelter!
You choose the number of children you or your group wish to “adopt” — meaning you are offering to be responsible for 1 gift per child (approximately $35-50 value retail) — through UASF’s Give Joy! Adopt-A-Shelter program. 🎁
To participate, sign up on the form below now so you have enough time to get the gifts and deliver them to the shelter in early December. You will be provided with a list of the ages of the children for whom you will be shopping.
In order not to exploit the children’s situation and out of respect for their living conditions, you will be dropping off your holiday gifts to the shelter manager. You will not be meeting the children or their families — however the shelter manager will be invited to provide thank you notes and photographs from them. Your heart will melt with joy when you read them!
Many of these children live with their families in transitional shelters, where they can be forced out after 90 days. Other residents there struggle with physical and mental health issues, addiction and poverty which makes this a particularly challenging environment for the children. Your generosity will bring incredible holiday joy to them and their families and brighten their spirits for days!
