Adopt a Family
This Holiday Season.

The holidays should be a season of warmth, joy, and connection — but for many of the children, families, and vulnerable adults we serve, this time of year can bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional strain. Your generosity makes all the difference.

Why Your Support Matters

Every gift helps CGRC provide more than holiday essentials — you support mental health services, family stability, and hope for vulnerable children and caregivers.
