✦ Holiday Program 2026

A Little Holiday Magic for Every Family.

Through our Adopt-A-Family program, generous neighbors, like you, provide holiday gifts for local families and seniors in our community.

Our program strengthens community connections by allowing donors to directly impact real lives, creating a shared sense of generosity, care, and holiday spirit that reaches far beyond the season itself.

150+ families and seniors are adopted by members of our community each year. We thank you for your generosity in making this a special time of year for everyone in Parker, Elizabeth, and Franktown.

Our Holiday Mission

Our Adopt-a-Family program extends its mission beyond meals by bringing hope and joy to families and seniors during the holiday season.

Through this program, individuals, businesses, and community groups are matched with families or seniors who create customized wish lists based on their specific needs and wishes.

These lists may include practical items like warm clothing and household essentials, as well as special gifts that make the holidays feel truly personal and celebratory.

How it works

1. 1
   Families and Seniors Sign Up

   We have single seniors, couples, and families ranging from 2 to 7 people sign up for the program. We also remember their pets!

2. 2
   The Wish List

   Our families and seniors create a wishlist for their household and we share that with you. You are welcome to buy as much or as little from the wishlist as you like - there are no expectations to purchase every item.

3. 3
   Prep It and Drop It Off

   We ask that you clearly wrap and tag all gifts for each family member and bring your gifts to the Parker Task Force on Friday, December 11th.

Nearly 1 in 5 Douglas County residents struggle to meet basic needs for food and shelter.

The cold months stretch tight budgets even further. Thank you to every sponsor, business, and volunteer who makes the holidays a little brighter for our neighbors.
