Holiday from the Heart

Each sponsor receives a form listing the first names, ages, sizes, and interests of the family members as well as the holiday the family will be celebrating.

Sponsors deliver unwrapped gifts to our office at 220 North Jackson Street in Media, PA. Additional volunteers will help wrap and deliver gifts to the families.

About the Families

Families sponsored in Holiday from the Heart are participants in The Center Foundation's WomenCare program or Young Parents Support Network.

Our families range in size from a mother with one infant, to families of 6 or more. If sponsoring a whole family seems difficult, consider asking some friends to team up with you or simply tell us what you can do and we'll combine your giving with that of others.

Sponsor a Family All Year

Many of our families experience difficult times throughout the year, not just at the holidays.

Our families often have real needs for basic household items and furnishings, particularly when moving into new living quarters. New babies, especially, place a strain on families. And the birthdays of the teens, moms and their children happen all year long. So we're expanding our Holiday from the Heart program to all year.

If you would like to sponsor a family throughout the year, you can help by making a cash donation. For specific information about "adopting" a family, contact Aimee at Aimee@theCF.org.

"The best gift was knowing that there are still kind and generous people like you who still exist... If it were not for you, [my son] and I would not have celebrated Christmas for the first time in 16 years."
