Adopt a family this holiday season

This holiday season, UNMC and its Adopt-A-School partners — Monroe Middle School and Fontenelle Elementary School — are working together to help families in our community. UNMC wants to sponsor 10 families at Monroe Middle School and purchase holiday meals and gifts for families at Fontenelle Elementary School.

To help the families at Monroe Middle School, organizers would like a department or individual at UNMC to collect gifts, purchase a holiday meal, or donate money to one of the chosen families. The ages and clothing sizes of each family will be supplied for those who wish to purchase gifts.

For Fontenelle Elementary School UNMC will be collecting donations or gift certificates to purchase holiday meals and gifts for families. Organizers would like to provide gifts and meals for at least 10 families from Fontenelle Elementary School.

By supporting UNMC’s Adopt-A-School program, employees and departments have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of some children and their families this holiday season. For more information on how you can sponsor a family or a student, contact Megan Addy at 559-4694 or maddy@unmc.edu.
