Adopt An Ohana
Because of your incredible generosity across all of our sites, this Christmas more than 2,440 lives were touched with hope and love.
At our Main Campus alone, over 1,800 individuals—children and their parents—were lovingly adopted, including more than 900 children who experienced the joy of being remembered and cared for.
Your kindness did far more than provide gifts; it reflected the heart of Jesus and reminded families that they are seen, valued, and loved. Thank you for sharing God's love so beautifully this Christmas.
