Hi everyone. At our last club meeting I said I would check into sponsoring a family for the holidays. I contacted Harford County Department of Community Services and was referred to Mason Dixon Community Services which runs the Neighbors in Need Program and Holiday Giving Program.
The woman who runs the program is Terrie Perry. She is going to send me the initial information on the Holiday Giving Program. Their program is unique in that they connect sponsors and clients for face-to-face interaction, whereas most other holiday programs collect from donors then have give-a-way days that the clients attend but the sides don't ever meet. According to Ms. Perry, as a sponsor, our club will select the number and size of family (ies) we wish to "adopt" and we will be able to directly contact the head of household to find out likes, interest, etc. Ms. Perry also told me that she is available over the next few months to chat through any additional ideas or questions we may have.
As soon as I receive the information I will share! I can't wait to do this and hope everyone in our club will support this serving opportunity.
