Denver Rescue Mission is celebrating its eighteenth Christmas outreach to needy families by offering the Adopt-A-Family Program. Together, many corporations, organizations, churches, families, and individuals help to make this a special holiday for children and their families in the Denver Metro Area.
We would like to match willing sponsors to needy families for the purpose of providing them with a Christmas holiday food box and gifts. As a sponsor of a needy family you are asked to provide:

• One gift of new clothing and one or two toys for each child, purchased for a minimum of $40.
• A small gift for each adult, purchased for a minimum of $25.
• An uncooked food box, which includes: turkey or ham, stuffing and potatoes, canned vegetables, bread and margarine, dessert and milk. For families with infants, baby food and dry milk would also be appreciated. A disposable pan to cook the turkey in would also be helpful. An alternative to this would be to provide the family with a gift certificate to a local grocer so that they can shop for their holiday meal.
• All gifts should be wrapped.
• You will be responsible for dropping off gifts and the meal to the adopted family on Saturday, December 12th (unless other arrangements have been made).
• Remember, the amounts listed for gifts are a minimum. If you would like to exceed the amounts listed, you may.
