2011 Snowflake Program Made Holidays Brighter for 13 Birth Families
December 29, 2011
By Nada H., Celebrate Adoption Steering Committee Co-Chair and 2011 Snowflake Program Chair
Every year during the holidays, Celebrate Adoption teams up with Adoption Connection to provide gifts for birth families in need. The agency coordinates with the birth families to determine what items they need, including clothes, coats, and small toys. The requests are written on snowflakes, which can be selected and fulfilled by anyone.
Thanks to the generosity of Celebrate Adoption's members and the community, the holiday season was made a little brighter for 13 families (including 36 children). In addition to the many wrapped gifts, cash donations totaling $325 helped purchase gifts, and $325 in gift cards were also donated.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the 2011 Snowflake Program!
