Register to Adopt a Family's Needs for the December Holidays


The Old Saybrook community has a rich tradition of helping those in need.  The holiday season is soon to be upon us and many individuals, businesses and organizations  are working once again with Youth and Family Services, Social Services, and the Department of Police Services' Toy Drive, to ensure that everyone in the community has a chance to enjoy a happy holiday season regardless of financial pressures. 

Whether you are prepared to adopt one wish for one child, or the wishes of several children, we can find the perfect family match for your situation!  Or perhaps shopping is not your thing.  Our "ghost-shoppers" are here to do the shopping for you.  Your financial donations to the program will be used to help fill children's unanswered holiday wishes.  If you would like to help your neighbors in need this holiday, please register today, and we will match you with a family whose wishes you can help fulfill. 

Donated items should be unwrapped.  We are happy to accept wrapping paper donations as well so that parents/guardians can prepare their child's present for the holiday morning.  We ask that gift donors deliver their donations marked with the family number they are assigned to the Old Saybrook Fire House (side entrance) during the designated drop-off period.  Additional details and dates will be available upon registration.

Thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness and generosity. May you enjoy a happy and healthy holiday season
