The Odyssey House Adopt-a-Family program has officially kicked off for the Christmas season. Last year, our community had a significant impact on the lives of 70 families and 146 children providing $39,272.61 in gifts, groceries, and essentials.
One guardian expressed, “I am so grateful for Adopt-a-Family because if it wasn’t for this program, they wouldn’t have had anything under the tree.”
Another added, “I am having a hard time expressing how grateful I am for this…the kindness and generosity shown by your organization and the people who have participated in this program is such a beautiful thing.”
Kristen Tardiff, from Odyssey House, explained, “This program started because we know December is a stressful time of year for a lot of families, especially if you're single income household.”
Odyssey House is asking the community to come together once again by adopting a family in need. Your donation of gifts and grocery gift cards will ensure families facing financial hardship can still enjoy a festive meal and presents under the tree.
Gifts must be delivered by December 10th, 2024. If you are unable to deliver, please contact Odyssey House to schedule a pick-up. If you’re interested in supporting a family or have any questions about the program, please contact Nancy at reception@odysseyhouse.ca or 780-538-1332 ext. 101.
