• You should plan to spend $50 per parent and between $150-$200, per child.
• Donors can only adopt one (1) family
• Your adopted family’s information will be provided to you by November 21, 2025, at the latest.
• To protect client confidentiality, each survivor will be described as parent, child, or infant along with their gender and age.
• If a child has specific developmental needs, this information will be listed on the donor form.

Please include the following items for each family member:

Children (ages 0-18)

• 1 to 3 Outfit(s)
  • Shirt
  • Pants/skirt or dress
• Pajamas
• Socks
• Underwear
• Winter hat or ear muffs, gloves and scarf
• 3 Gifts per Child

(No one gift should exceed $50)

Parents and Adults (18 & over)

• Two (2) gift ideas of preference listed on match form

(No one gift should exceed $50)

• Please be sure to include the clothing items for each child. Often times, our families flee dangerous and high risk situations with nothing but the clothing on their backs. This includes children. After they leave shelter, their main focus is rebuilding, which doesn’t always leave much room for buying new clothing.
• Please do not wrap any of your gifts. Instead, consider donating wrapping paper, tape, ribbon, and/or gift bags (all sizes) so that the parent may wrap children’s gifts.
• Place all unwrapped gifts in a large plastic bag and tape your name – or your company’s name, Checklist and Adoption Form to the bag. We rely on this information to match the gift bags to the correct family. If you have large items that do not fit in a bag (i.e. bicycle, car seat, etc.), please tape your name and Family ID on a piece of paper attached to the item itself.
