Bring joy to someone’s life this holiday season and become a sponsor for the Department of Public Social Services’ (DPSS) Adopt-A-Family Program. Each year, this long-standing tradition brings smiles to hundreds of families served by DPSS. In 2021, over 1,370 generous sponsors, provided gifts to over 1,880 CalWORKs, IHSS, Medi-Cal, and CalFresh families during the holiday season.

Los Angeles County staff, individuals, groups, and local businesses can all participate in this joyous and gratifying program by sponsoring families. Sponsors are matched with a family and provided with their contact information along with the family’s “wish list” of requested items. These new items may include groceries, clothing, gift certificates or toys. Collaborate with family and friends to make a difference and experience the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

Further details and application forms can be found on the DPSS website.
