The City of Chino Hills is accepting applications for the Adopt-A-Family program from families in need and donors who are looking to assist families that need a little help during the holiday season. Applications to apply for assistance or to become a donor are available online at www.chinohills.org/AdoptAFamily. Applications must be submitted to the City Hall Recreation Office, located at 14000 City Center Drive, by Monday, November 10.
The Adopt-A-Family program assists families in need by anonymously matching them with donors who are residents, families, and community groups who want to help Chino Hills families have a happier holiday season. Families in need qualify for the program through an application process that verifies Chino Hills residency and financial hardship. Donors may “adopt” one or more families and may select a small, medium, or large-sized family. The City then matches donors with families and provides them with a holiday wish list from the family by the week of November 21, which may include clothing and toy ideas. Families who have been adopted for two years consecutively may not be placed in top priority. Acceptance is not based solely on income, as special circumstances will be considered.
Gifts should be wrapped and dropped off on Monday, December 15, from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm at the McCoy Equestrian & Recreation Center located at 14280 Peyton Drive. All the gifts collected from donors will be redistributed to recipients in early December. The City is also accepting gift cards in support of the Adopt-A-Family program. For questions, please call the Recreation Office at (909) 364-2700.
