Adopt a family 23-24
The Adopt-A-Family program matches impoverished families with individual or group sponsors to provide for their tangible needs at Christmas.
Viking Volunteers is once again participating in Adopt a Family! This year, we have a family of 9 to provide for. Last year we were able to raise over $2000 for our family and were able to assist other families as well. We hope to match or even exceed the funds this year.
We would like to receive a monetary donation from you in order to fund the gift we would like to buy for our "Adopt A Family" family. Any amount helps!
Follow the instructions below to participate in Adopt a Family:
Every $10 you donate is equivalent to 1 service hour. These hours will go towards your total hours for Viking Volunteers.
You can donate a maximum of $20 (totaling 2 service hours)
Bring your donation in an envelope with your first and last name, and ID number
Give your envelope to Ms. Marcella in SPS by December 5th, 2023
If Ms. Marcella is not there when you bring it in, you can either leave it in her office mailbox or put it under her door.
You MUST ALSO complete one of the following!
For your donation, you must perform a small act of service. This act of service can be raking your neighbor's lawn, cleaning up trash in the neighborhood, making a holiday card for the family etc. Fill out the google form below ("Adopt a Family Acts of Service") to provide proof of your act(s) of service. More information on the Google form.
You can also take collections from family members and friends. If you are taking a collection, you CAN EXCEED $20. Anyone who does a collection does NOT need to do an additional act of service. Please also fill out the donation log if you are taking a collection (make a copy of this link). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1efdeydjELO6ygkA3yHSc71tIBTBuXPxEQUm4LYSCHMs/edit?usp=sharing
To do the act of service, you have until JANUARY 31ST!
Submit your donations by Tuesday, December 5th. Complete your act of service by Wednesday, January 31st.
You MUST do both the donation AND fill out the act of service form for the service hour(s).
