CCS Welcoming More Families For Christmas
Combined Community Services has been blessed with so many individuals, businesses and organizations adopting families for Christmas this year, that the service organization is now accepting a few more applications for families who need help with the holidays.
Peggi Lisenbee-Wright, director of client assistance for CCS, said the number of families who can be accepted into the Adopt-a-Family program is very limited, but is still open for those who have never utilized the program before. Applications are only being accepted via phone or email at this time due to the high volume of clients coming in for food and utility assistance this time of year.
New applicants and those who have never been part of the Adopt-a-Family program before may call 574-269-6019 Ext. 222 or email [email protected].
Anyone wishing to adopt a family for the Christmas season may also contact Lisenbee-Wright. After Thanksgiving, the program will open for families who have been part of the program in past years. Last year, more than 500 families received Christmas presents from adopting individuals and businesses.
