Registration for Adopt A Family 2025 is open!
What is Adopt A Family?
Adopt a Family is a program that allows DAIS to continue to care about the people we’ve served, even when they’re no longer an active client. We want to do everything we can to continue to support their safety and independence. So, every year, we invite clients from the current calendar year to create a Holiday Wish List. We then match the Wish List with a donor in the community who will help fulfill that family’s wishes for the holiday season. Groups, businesses and organizations can choose to adopt a family as well.
What do I need to know before signing up to participate as a donor?
- DAIS works to match each donor with one family or individual that fits the donor’s budget parameters.
- We ask that donors plan to spend approximately $100 per person. Typical gifts include gift cards, toys for children, and personal/household items. We seek to empower survivors to regain control and to advocate for their needs. Individuals/Families may request gift cards so they can personally select and purchase gifts for their children. Please note that gift cards may be on your matched family’s Wish List.
- Donors will be matched with a family and provided with their Wish List. The Wish List will have information about purchasing gifts, as well as details about dropping gifts off at our security office, at the north end of the building.
- For Adopt a Family questions, email: amandac@abuseintervention.org
- Donor Drop-Off Deadline is 12/12/2025 (all gifts must be dropped off at DAIS by this date).
