Adopt - A - Family

For over 9 years Port Cares has been matching families who may require assistance in order to have a merry Christmas with individuals and/or corporate sponsors.
Many families in our community struggle financially, especially at Christmas time. You can help one of these families out by "adopting" them for Christmas.
When I adopt a family, what is expected of me/my organization?

We will provide you with the family "wish list" Once your shopping is complete, you drop off at Port Cares, and we pass it on to the family. The process is completely confidential.

If I can't adopt a family this year, can I make a monetary donation
to the program?

Yes, you can make a monetary donation on behalf of the program. Please make your cheque payable to Port Cares-include "Adopt-A-Family Program" in the memo field. We will then shop on your behalf.

If you would like to sponsor a family, please call 905-834-3629 ext. 280. Brittany or Jen, or mail us at christmas@portcares.on.ca
