1) Every year, Capture the Dream, Inc., hosts an annual Adopt-a-Family Program. Bay area schools and non-profit agencies apply to participate in our program on behalf of the students or clients they serve. We partner with select non-profits to identify families in need who qualify to participate in our program. Each participating family is selected based on a variety of factors including income, location, and family size. 2) After qualifying families have been selected, the partner organizations coordinate with the families to complete a holiday wish list. 3) Once the wish lists are complete, adopters/donors can sign-up on the CTD website to adopt a family. By registering to adopt a family, you are committing to purchase a minimum of one need and one want for each individual in your adopted family according to their wish list. You will receive a confirmation email from an Adopt a Family program manager once your registration is complete. 4) CTD will then pair up each family with an adopter. Adopters will be provided with te family's wish list and an instruction letter. The adopter will have a limited time to purchase their gifts and deliver them to CTD unwrapped. 5) On the dates provided in the instruction letter, there will be an opportunity for adopters and volunteers to wrap the gifts for each family. There will also be an opportunity for adopters to meet their adopted families and present them with their gifts. We usually ask that adopters bring their gifts to us for gift wrapping on a Saturday, at the same location where their gifts will be presented the following day. We may conduct multiple event weekends at different locations, depending on where our community partners and their clients are based.  |
