Adopt a Home
Love them well. Know them by name.

Loving people well
The holidays can be hard for people working to get back on their feet. This fall, every home gets a team that shows up on purpose. Adopt a home through Thanksgiving and Christmas, get to know the people there, and build friendships that last.
How it works
Choose a Home
Pick a home for your family or small group. One team per home. Individuals welcome.
Share Thanksgiving
Bring a prepared meal to the home (Nov 21-29). Stay, eat together, and get to know the residents.
Make Christmas Happen
Decorate the home together and bring each resident a gift picked with them in mind.
We're asking for both holidays, and we hope it's only the beginning.
Choose a home
16 homes and properties, one shared purpose. Pick a home and sign up right on its card.
