Adopt-A-Family
Norwich Human Services and Norwich Youth and Family Services are seeking individuals and organizations that are willing to adopt one or more families for our “Adopt-A-Family” program this Holiday season. All Families are from the Norwich area and are in financial need with most living below the poverty level.
Thanks to the kind and generous support in the past by individuals and organizations such as you, we are able to make holidays more joyful for many young children in the community. If you or your organization would be willing to adopt at least one family, we would greatly appreciate your support.
Please contact Norwich Human Services at (860) 823-3778
You or your organization will choose the size of family you are willing to help. You will be given information about the family in need, including first names, ages, sizes and special interests of each family member. All families have been screened by a case manager to verify information and need.
Please consider sharing this request with your family and friends to help us identify new sponsors.
Thank you! Your kindness will not be forgotten.
