Support the SaddleBrooke Community Outreach Holiday Adopt Program | Community

Since 2007, the SaddleBrooke Community Outreach (SBCO) Holiday Adopt Program (formerly the Adopt-a-Family and Adopt-a-Child programs) has provided hand-picked and carefully wrapped Christmas gifts for families in Oracle, San Manuel, Mammoth and Apache children on the San Carlos reservation. Recently, families in the Hayden-Winkelman School District have been added. Last year, the program assisted 130 families (486 individuals) and 250 Apache children. SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch residents provide the money and volunteer services required to make this program such a great success.

The SBCO Holiday Adopt Program is proud to support families whose children are enrolled in school districts in nearby Copper Corridor communities. There are 10 units within SaddleBrooke that have agreed to support the program this year. We hope to have additional units join in this sharing opportunity. If you, your group or your unit wishes to adopt a family or families in nearby Copper Corridor communities, please contact Kim Seales at [email protected]. Volunteers are also needed to help shop and wrap gifts for delivery. Likewise, email Maggie DeBlock at [email protected] if you prefer to adopt an Apache child or children. In addition, volunteers are needed for loading and unloading the wrapped gifts.

As always, SaddleBrooke residents are encouraged to donate to the program. Since SBCO is a 501(C) (3) not for profit organization (Tax ID # 86-0843458), all contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
