Odyssey House seeking donors for 2024 Adopt-a-Family program

Nov 22, 2024 | 12:00 PM

Odyssey House’s annual gift campaign for families in need has returned.

The Grande Prairie women’s shelter is inviting residents to participate in their Adopt-a-Family program,.

Participants are assigned a less fortunate family and details about their interests, clothing sizes, gender and ages to choose personalized gifts for them to enjoy this Christmas.

As part of the sponsorship, participants are asked to purchase gifts for both children and their care givers, and to leave the children’s gifts unwrapped but with wrapping supplies provided, as well as a grocery gift card.

The program has different sponsorship levels based on the number of children in the family, with families of 5 or more kids seeking gifts worth a total value of up to $1150.

Participants must deliver their gifts by December 10.
