Holiday Opportunities
We have several opportunities to support the families at BHA during the holidays. Here are some of the ways in which you as individuals, families, small groups or entire churches can support the BHA families during the holiday season:
Christmas Adopt-A-Family
Help provide a special Christmas to our BHA families! Choose the family size you would like to adopt and provide gifts for each family member in the household. BHA participants will provide a wish list for each family member which will include something they need, something they want, something they can wear and something they can read. Using this list, your group will purchase the items, wrap and label each gift and deliver the gifts to BHA during the week of December 16th.
​
* Please note: This year, we are asking that you only adopt between 1 - 4 families per group in each category, so that other groups have the opportunity to adopt families to help as well.
