Make a Family's Dream Come True this Holiday!
Program Mission:
Through gift donations, the Adopt-a-Family Program was developed to provide support to a Boston area family in need during the holidays. The family is asked to submit a holiday wish list of their wants and needs. Members and Friends of the Spelman College Boston Area Alumnae Chapter come together to fulfill the family's wish by purchasing items from the list or making a financial contribution to be used towards gift purchases.
