Adopt a Family Enrollment
September 1 - October 15
Prince of Peace Catholic Church, Texas 249, Houston, TX, USA
Our Christmas Adopt-A-Family Program can help make Christmas a little brighter for the children by providing gifts for the children and food for the family’s holiday meal.
If you are struggling financially due to the crisis we find ourselves living in, as well as loss of income, medical issues, homelessness, and/or personal emergency situations, please consider Prince of Peace Catholic Community’s Adopt-A-Family Program for Christmas assistance.
We want to help.
- You must either be an active registered member of Prince of Peace or live within our program’s zip code boundary (77064, 77065, 77066, 77068, 77069, 77070, and 77014). Only family members physically living in your household are eligible to participate. Two families residing under one roof will be considered one family.
- This year we will consider a household with multiple families with children as individual families. Each family must apply and qualify separately.
- We have also revised and reinstated the number of times a family can participate. The limit is 3 times from 2018 to present. If a family has been participated in AAF 3 times in the last 5 years, they are no longer eligible to participate. We will provide the family with other resources.
