Families Requesting Assistance: DEADLINE NOVEMBER 5TH!!!!!!
Important Information:
- All information you submit on the form will be given to the family, business or organization who adopts you. This is not an anonymous match. The family, business or organization will then contact you to arrange pick up or drop off of gifts. They may also contact you with additional questions about the needs and wants provided on the form.
- Families will be matched in the order the requests are received
- We can’t guarantee your family will be adopted - this is dependent on the amount willing to help
- You will receive an email before Thanksgiving informing you if your family was adopted.
- If your family was adopted through this Ray-Pec Cares program, please refrain from asking for help from additional community organizations as other families will need that support. We do check with various community organizations to help this process.
- List a variety of needs and wants on the form for each child, including gender and sizes. *We are asking families to spend about $50-75 per child they adopt, please keep requests reasonable and within this range.

If you are planning on adopting a family during this holiday, please consider adopting a family through Ray-Pec Cares, knowing you are helping a family right here in our school district.
Important Information:
- Due to volunteer manpower limitations, the matching process will not be anonymous, unless you designate your desire to have someone else deliver your gifts for you.
- You will be emailed your family’s information before Thanksgiving. Feel free to contact the family directly if you have any additional questions regarding the needs and wants provided.
- Please plan on spending a minimum of $50-75 per child - this will help guide you in deciding what size family you are willing to adopt.
- Additional info: It is up to you if you want to help the parents too. Often families will add in a gift card to clothing or grocery stores. It often works best if you don’t wrap the presents, but instead include wrapping paper, tape and gift tags you can give to the parents. This way the parents are able to see what the presents are, wrap the presents themselves and write the child’s name on the outside of the present to make it more personal.
