Since 1985, Oakland Family Services has helped families who face financial difficulties to make the holidays a little brighter for their loved ones, especially the children. Our Adopt-A-Family program is an opportunity for families and businesses to experience the joys of giving at this special time of year. Adopt-A-Family recipients are not wishing for expensive items or frivolous keepsakes. Rather, they are hoping for simple gifts that can bring a smile to a child’s face or keep them warm in the winter’s cold. |

The Friends of Oakland Family Services along with local teenagers fulfilling community service hours assist individuals and corporations in unloading and checking in hundreds of wrapped gifts and packages over a two-day period. Both staff and clients are overwhelmed by the generosity of our community.
Last year through the kindness of individuals, businesses and community groups, more than 150 families had a holiday to remember thanks to Oakland Family Services’ Adopt-A-Family program!
