The agency seeks community members to help bring holiday cheer by adopting families in need
BUFFALO, NY– This holiday season, Community Services for Every1 is excited to kick off its annual Adopt a Family program, inviting the community to bring joy to families in need across Western New York. Community Services is actively seeking community members to “adopt” families served by the agency to help make their holiday wishes come true. Community Services helps (1) people with developmental disabilities, (2) youth and adults with chronic health conditions and complex mental health concerns, and (3) survivors of domestic violence. This season, over 55 families are in need of a holiday adoption.
The Adopt a Family program invites local businesses, organizations, and community members to partner with the agency by “adopting” families. Participating donors can choose a family size that aligns with their giving goals and receive a list of holiday wishes created by that family. To participate, donors can visit https://Adopt2024.givesmart.com.
“We’re thrilled to offer the Adopt a Family program as a way for people to make a direct impact on the lives of those we serve,” said Mindy Cervoni, President and CEO of Community Services. “Every year, we’re humbled by the generosity of our community, and we see the difference it makes in bringing joy and dignity to families who need it most.”
“Adopting a family this holiday season is an opportunity to make a real impact in the lives of those who are facing challenges,” said Kelly Kinderman, Vice President of Program Support and Developmentof Community Services. “With the support of the community, we can bring much-needed joy and create lasting memories for families in need.”
In addition to adopting families, Community Services for Every1 is also accepting donations of new essential necessities, such as kitchenware, towels, bedding, winter clothing, etc. For those who prefer, monetary donations can also be made at https://Adopt2024.givesmart.com to help fulfill critical needs.
