PARTY EVENING

Number of People: 2-20             

Time Commitment: 1-2 hours   

Frequency Needed: One time only, weekly, or monthly

Time of Day:  Evenings

What will I do:  Help our clients get a break from their routine.  Provide and evening of fun, food, and fellowship with no agenda other than having fun.  Through this you will have opportunity to build relationships and invest in people.  This can include, but is not limited to:

  • Bingo Night

  • Movie Night

  • Bunko

  • Board Games

  • Karaoke

  • Arts and Crafts

  • Snacks of your choice (not necessary but can enhance the party.)  We will provide paperware/cups.

CHRISTMAS CLIENT ADOPTION

Name:  Christmas Client Adoption

Number of People: 75 people adopting 1 client each (or any combination)

Time Commitment:  One day shopping and delivering presents

Frequency Needed: Once yearly at Christmas

Time of Day: Gifts to be dropped off by Dec. 22 at the latest

What you will be doing:

  • Once you fill out the form (by clicking the button below), we will put you on our list of adopters.

  • Choose the number of clients you would like to “adopt.” We suggest a $50-$75 range in gift spending per person. We suggest 3 presents total as our clients have limited space while living here.

  • In December we will provide pertinent information about the person you are adopting. (We wait until December because of the transient nature of our clients and we don’t know who will be here over Christmas.) Try to make your gifts relatively generic so that in case of changes in clientele we can assign you to a different person with similar age and gender.

  • Shop for, purchase and wrap present for your adoptee/s. Keep the size of your gift in mind, each client has limited space while staying with us. We’ll suggest one article of clothing/outerwear, one personal care item, and something fun (toys, books, earphones, cards, games, etc.)

  • Drop those presents off at the shelter by December 22nd with names on gifts for your adoptee/s.
