HOWELL – Help a neighbor in need this holiday season and take part in Howell Township’s annual “Adopt a Family” Holiday Giveaway program.
The holiday season is an important time of the year to help families who are less fortunate. Once again, the Township is encouraging all residents and local businesses to consider adopting a family in need within the Howell community.
“These are tough times and with the challenges of our local and national economy, more families are in need of our generosity,” officials said.
Their goal is to gather as many volunteers as they can and assign them each an “adopted” family in Howell.
Volunteers will help families with children (ages range from toddlers to 17 years old) to give them a brighter holiday. Many local businesses, neighborhoods, residents and non-profit organizations and groups have come together to be involved in the benefit.
The Township still needs more volunteers to help and support the “Adopt A Family” Holiday Give Away.
You can help or contribute to the benefit by doing anything of the following:
- You can help by calling the Township of Howell to sign up to sponsor a Howell family. 732-938-4500 ext. 2102.
- You can also help by purchasing gift certificates in any increment. (Walmart, Target, Five Below, Kohl’s, Applebee’s, or Visa Card)
- Organize a neighborhood, office and/or store collection for families.
- Support this event by informing your friends and family about the Give Away.
All gifts must be unwrapped. Gifts can be dropped off at the Howell Township Municipal Building, 4567 Highway 9 North, First Floor. You can drop off gifts on the following date and time: December 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
