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, 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 NHS@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.
