Core CARE Program

Submissions for 2026 opening soon!

The 2026 Core CARE Program, formerly Adopt-a-Family, connects local families and volunteers to meet real needs in our community.

In 2026, we’re expanding this program to serve more families and improve how we coordinate help across our partners.

If you or someone you know needs support — or you want to help — join the waiting list today.

We’ll contact you as soon as enrollment opens for our next round of family matching and volunteer opportunities.
