Adopt-A-Family

The holidays are meant to be a time of peace, harmony and goodwill. Unfortunately, the incidences of domestic violence don't decrease just because it is the holiday season. This time of year can be difficult for so many, especially those who have fled their home to escape abuse.

Every holiday season our community helps FVPC to provide Merry Christmas mornings to over 50 families who have been affected by family violence. Annually, around 40 individuals, businesses, churches, and organizations take time out of their busy schedules to show that it is better to give than to receive.

During the 2007 Holiday season, 57 families were adopted by 43 local individuals, families, churches, schools and businesses. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who participated in the program.

Information on adopting families for the 2008 Holiday season will be posted in September 2008.
