As Christmas quickly approaches, we’re proud to be partnering with the Adopt a Family initiative to help bring joy to families doing it tough this festive season. This local community campaign connects generous locals with families in need, giving everyone a chance to experience the magic of Christmas.
What Is Adopt a Family?
The Adopt a Family campaign is a community-led effort that connects generous locals with families who could use some extra support this Christmas. By “adopting” a family, you commit to buying thoughtful gifts for every family member — spreading kindness and relief at a time when it’s needed most.
“Supporting the Adopt a Family program is something we really believe in at Sunshine Toyota,” dealer principal Ryan O’Connor said.
“Christmas can be a difficult time for many local families and if we can help bring even a moment of joy or relief, then we’re honoured to do so.
“This community supports us every day, giving back is the least we can do.”
Why Your Help Matters
Being part of Adopt a Family is about more than presents — it’s about showing our neighbours they’re seen, supported and cared for by a community that truly values everyone. As Kathleen Hope, CEO of SunnyKids, says: “When you adopt a family, you’re giving far more than a gift.”
This initiative also offers a meaningful way to teach younger generations about generosity — highlighting the joy of giving rather than receiving.
How to Get Involved
Getting involved is easy — and the impact is enormous. Here’s how you can help:
- Choose a family from the current list provided by participating charities.
- Contact the charity and let them know which family you’ve chosen.
- Purchase gifts for each family member.
- Drop off the gifts at the designated location before Christmas.
