The United Way Adopt a Family Program allows businesses, community members, groups and organizations to provide local families with gifts and necessities such as food and toiletries during the holidays. Families are identified by service agencies and they are experiencing needs due to financial instability, health issues, or other major circumstances.
Sponsors will choose a family to support through our online platform, where you can view details such as clothing sizes and specific items the family has requested. In 2024, 209 families of various sizes and life stages turned to this program for help. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, all 877 individuals received the support they needed to brighten their holidays.
To adopt a family, get more information, or provide support for this program, contact United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties at info@unitedwayjwc.org, or call (319) 338-7823.
