AANF Helping Families On Most Joyous Season Of Them All.
For over twenty years, Adopt A Needy Family has provided year-round support to families through initiatives like utility supplements and back-to-school projects, with a special emphasis on aiding families during the Christmas season. Annually, we rely on partners who generously contribute to the welfare of others.
In tribute to our founder Fr. James Hubert's lifelong mission, we are committed to helping families in San Antonio's most impoverished areas. This holiday season, we invite you to support our cause by adopting a family for Christmas or by making a financial donation, which will be used to buy gifts for the families you sponsor. Without Adopt A Needy Family, these families would likely miss out on celebrating the most joyous time of the year.
Families in need are referred by social workers and counselors from schools, churches, and other non-profit organizations. Our staff personally visits each household to ensure they meet our financial criteria and to prevent service duplication with other agencies.
We invite you to join us once more in bringing the Christmas spirit to less fortunate families. We anticipate your involvement in this year's activities and encourage you to participate in our gift-wrapping and delivery event this December at Mount Sacred Heart School, 619 Mount Sacred Heart Rd, San Antonio, TX 78216.
Suggested Donation List
Not every family includes all their needs on their wish lists. We encourage donors to reflect and consider what they would want and need if they found themselves in a similar situation.
It’s The Small Things We Take For Granted That Are So Important To Those We Serve…. Can You Give Today?
