Family Foundation Needs People to Adopt Families

Adopting a family for Christmas is a very popular way to help less fortunate people during the holidays. The Kearney Family Foundation has families in the Kearney School District who need your help this year.

Adopting a family through the Kearney Family Foundation brings joy and relief to those who are struggling in our community. Last year, the Foundation was able to provide Christmas gifts to 107 families.

The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in November 2003 as a community volunteer organization dedicated to assisting the children and families in the Kearney/Holt area. Every penny donated – 100 percent of all donations – goes directly to those children and families that the foundation helps.

To help others through the Adopt-A-Family program this year and provide gifts and clothing, please sign-up on the Kearney Family Foundation website at kearneyfamilyfoundation.org/how-to-help2. Scroll down to and complete the “Interested in Adopting a Family or Individual?” form. Please include your budget so that the Foundation can pair you with a family size that will meet your resources.

Gifts should be dropped off on November 30 (8 am - 2 pm) or December 2 (4 pm - 8 pm). All family adoption items can be dropped off at 351 W Washington St, Kearney.
