Adopt a family, child, or elderly person

An individual, family, business or organization may “adopt” a family, child or elderly person to provide gifts from a list provided by our adoption coordinator. Starting in September we will be accepting requests to adopt by e-mail at powhatancec@verizon.net

Volunteer (hours below)

You may help set up our Christmas Mother gift room, sort items, or wrap gifts. We also need drivers to deliver gifts to those without transportation. Delivery dates will be announced in October. You may contact us by e-mail at powhatancec@verizon.net
