Adopt a Family for the Holidays
It’s not too early to start planning for this year’s Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center (ECCAC) Adopt-a-Family program to help children in need over the upcoming holiday season.
ECCAC is seeking donors who will purchase gifts for individual families who have been identified by the center. Last year, the program helped 197 children in 70 families have a brighter Christmas.
Sign up to Adopt-a-Family at ECCAC.org or contact Angie Harder at angie@ECCAC.org or 850-833-9237, Ext. 253 to make arrangements.
Then, shop for the family and bring unwrapped gifts and Christmas wrapping paper the Niceville or DeFuniak Springs centers by Dec. 18. Or sooner.
