Holiday Adopt-A-Family in South Florida
Help a Struggling Family Have a Memorable Holiday Season. BRING JOY & CHEER!
Spread Joy This Holiday Season with Our Adopt-A-Family Program!
Our 2024 Adopt-A-Family program is now closed. Thank you to all of our generous sponsors and volunteers. We had a record number of inquiries this year and we were able to adopt 100 families and five daycare centers!
If you are interested in adopting a family in 2025 please fill out this form and you will be contacted in late October/early November of 2025:
For over 20 years, our Holiday Adopt-A-Family program has connected sponsors with families in need. Choose a family from one of our carefully selected online profiles. Shop, wrap, and deliver gifts directly to the family you choose, or drop off at the agency if you prefer to remain anonymous. Feel free to join with family, friends, clubs, or co-workers to adopt.
While many children may request the latest iPhone, LeBron sneakers, or video game console, the wishes we receive at Touch A Heart are different. A young girl simply asks for pajamas, while one mother hopes for pillows and blankets because her three children share a single pillow. A boy’s request is as humble as a football and a book. Another mother’s only wish is to have a pot to cook for her family. These are the heartfelt wishes of the less fortunate families in our community.
As an adopter, you can choose a family based on location, nonprofit provider, family size, or simply by feeling connected to their profile. Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the family you’re supporting, sharing in the joy of giving.

If you are a family in need (South Florida only!): please have your CASEWORKER contact us for consideration. Due to the high volume of requests, we are unable to respond to requests directly from families who want to be adopted or are outside of South Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties only).
Adopt-A-Family South Florida Program Q&A
A: Families in need are selected by their caseworkers at local non-profit organizations that Touch A Heart has partnered with.
A: Once you are matched a family, you will be sent information with the family name, contact number and their holiday wish list as well as their caseworker’s information. Most of our “adopters” choose to meet their adopted family, and we will included some ideas on how to go about this once you are matched up with a family. Or you may deliver the gifts to the family’s agency or caseworker.
A: There are many ways you can participate in the Adopt-A-Family program. If you choose to adopt a family but wish to remain anonymous, please let the caseworker know and they will help coordinate getting the gifts to the family. If you do not adopt a family, there is also a need for monetary donations. Touch A Heart adopts many families at the holiday time from the funds raised throughout the year. You can donate online here.

A: Touch A Heart will be adopting many families from the money raised throughout the year. We need volunteers to help shop, wrap and deliver gifts to those families.
