“Adopter” Guidelines
The Pawling Resource Center’s “Adopt-A-Family” program operates anonymously and gives individuals, families and groups an opportunity to “Adopt” a family of any size: Small (1 child); Medium (2-3 children); or Large (4+ children). This includes buying gifts for children and optionally a gift card for parents. Once you return this form to us with your preference, you will be called and given specific requests for an appropriate-sized family. To maintain anonymity, you will be provided with a Family Number (#) rather than the family’s name.
To ensure that all Adopted Families receive an equitable distribution of gifts, please follow these guidelines:
• PLEASE, limit your purchase to a few items of clothing and one fun gift, or to $75 per child.
• Parents can receive a food store gift card, or the Chamber of Commerce Merchant’s gift card.
• Very important! Please label each gift with FAMILY #, gender and age of child.
i.e. “Family # 3, M-6.” All gifts must be dropped off at the same time.
• For those who have difficulty limiting purchases to the above guidelines (☺), you may add to our “Gift Box” of special items or toys that will be distributed to needy families who were not “adopted.”
• Donations of Holiday food should be delivered to the PRC and will be distributed among families.
The final day to sign up to Adopt-a-Family is Friday December 4th.
