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, have been screened by a case manager, are known to be in need and most are 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.

You may contact us at (860) 823-3778 or by email at krosedale@cityofnorwich.org

Please indicate the family size you would be willing to sponsor.  You or your organization will then be sent information about a family in need.  The information will include the first names, ages, sizes and special interests of each family member.

Please consider sharing this request with your family and friends to help us identify new sponsors.

Thank you!  Your kindness will not be forgotten.

Wednesday, December 18th at 12:45pm we will be having enjoying a Yankee Swap. For those of you who are not familiar with this, here is what you need to know to participate. Everyone wanting to participate brings a wrapped gift worth $5.00. Be creative, it should be a gift that others would like to own. When you bring your gift you will pick a number. 1 through however many people. The more people that come the “funner” it is! The first person picks a gift and unwraps it. Then the second person picks a gift or takes the one that the first person picks. If the second person chooses the first persons gift, the first person picks another gift and unwraps it. The game continues until the last person picks a gift.
