Gifts for children,
warm clothing, and household needs are concerns for many
parents during the holiday season.
Adopt A Family is a program that provides holiday gifts
to families who would otherwise be without.
The Adopt
A Family experience is a positive one for recipient families
and donor families, demonstrating the spirit of
giving during the Holidays! There is room in the program
for all levels of participation; University affiliates,
organizations, clubs, church groups, business groups,
families, and individuals can participate as donors.
Please
take the time to consider this opportunity and contact
us at 537-0730 if you would like to Adopt A Family.
The Mayor’s Holiday Food and Fund Drive is a community
wide fundraiser that brings Manhattan together to help
families in need. Hunger exists year round, however the
need for food assistance is most intense in November and
December because of the demand for additional necessities.
During the holidays the Breadbasket distributes thousands
of food baskets to Manhattan families in need.
It costs approximately $38 to provide a food basket for
a family of four. If you would like to make a donation,
please make checks payable to:
The Mayor's Holiday Tree
905 Yuma
Manhattan, KS 66502
Your contribution is tax deductible and will be matched
by a foundation!
