This program is a special program where you can help a needy family. All families in this program have given permission to have food delivered directly to their home by their adopter.

You may Adopt a Family and provide a holiday meal at Thanksgiving, and/or provide a holiday meal including gifts in December. Each holiday season, over 400 families are adopted through SCO by businesses, organizations, congregations, and individuals in the community.

For over ten years South County Outreach has assisted in matching adopters to needy families during the holidays.

Add a food that is from your family’s traditional holiday meal. Provide a gift certificate to their local market.

This is a great volunteer opportunity for a group. Employees in a department, or your club can join together to make a basket!

You or your group can take part in this program by filling out the Adopt-a-Family Form. You will be contacted by SCO with your Adopted family. Or, if you have questions, please contact SCO staff at 949-380-8144, or Email Us.
