In Case You Missed It
Adopt a Family this Holiday Season
 Bring joy to someone’s life this holiday season and become a sponsor for the Department of Public Social Services’ Adopt-A-Family Program. Each year, this long-standing tradition brings smiles to hundreds of families served by the Department of Public Social Services.
Los Angeles County staff, individuals, groups, and local businesses can all participate in this joyous and gratifying program by sponsoring families. Sponsors are matched with a family and provided with their contact information along with the family’s “wish list” of requested items. These new items may include clothing, gift certificates, and of course toys. Collaborate with family and friends to make a difference and experience the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.
The Adopt-A-Family program is now open and accepting applications until December 13, 2024. Click here to learn more.
