2025 Adopt-A-Family Holiday Program
This holiday season, you can help bring joy and hope to families in Los Angeles by participating in El Nido Family Centers’ 2025 Adopt-A-Family Holiday Program.
Many of our families are stretching every dollar, especially this year. When you adopt a family, you’ll provide personalized holiday gifts that help every child feel included in the season’s joy, ease financial stress for parents, and help create meaningful family time.
How It Works
1) Sign Up. Complete our Donor Sign-Up Form (2 minutes).
2) Get Matched. We’ll pair you with a family nominated by a case manager and share non-identifiable details (number/ages of children, parents/guardians, and general needs) to guide your shopping.
3) Shop, Wrap & Deliver. Shop for your family and drop off wrapped gifts (notes welcome!) at the El Nido office specified in your match email between Dec 1–12.
4) Spread Holiday Cheer. Case managers deliver gifts to families by December 21.
