The holidays are especially hard for children and families who cannot afford basic needs, let alone gifts under the tree. 

The Families First Adopt-A-Family is making the lives of children a little brighter during the holiday season, thanks to generous donors like you. Register to participate and choose from the 300 families who need your help to bring joy to their children this year.

We are located at 80 JOSEPH E. LOWERY BLVD., ATLANTA, GA 30314. You will enter the parking lot behind our building off of Lena St. There will be signs directing you to the drop-off area on the back of the building to the right. 

Please deliver your holiday gift donations during the following times at the location listed below:

• Saturday, December 4, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
• Monday, December 6, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
• Tuesday, December 7, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
• Wednesday, December 8, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The last day to drop off gifts is Wednesday, December 8 at 7 p.m. It is very important that you get your items to our office by this date so that we can ensure they are delivered to the families in time for the holidays.

If you would like to make a cash donation in lieu of adopting a family, you can make a contribution here. 

Please help our most vulnerable families have a healthy and delicious meal this Thanksgiving.

For families struggling to make ends meet, the holiday season can be stressful and full of difficult decisions, like choosing between paying utilities or buying gifts and holiday meals.

We believe everyone deserves a healthy meal, especially at Thanksgiving, and with your donation of food and grocery gift cards, our children and families can enjoy a bountiful feast this year.

All families are current clients of our Families First or partner programs and the deliveries will be made by our staff. Please choose a family, download their shopping list, and deliver the non-perishable groceries and any gift cards to Families First between November 10-13.
