Children Services seeks sponsors for Christmas gift program

LIMA — Allen County Children Services is seeking sponsors for its Christmas gift program, Adopt-A-Family, which purchases presents for children involved with the agency.

Sponsors will be matched with families, given contact information and a wish list for items to purchase. Sponsors may deliver presents to the family or drop them off at Children Services, 123 W. Spring St., Lima.

Donations can also be made to the cause by sending a check made payable to Allen County Children Services with “Adopt-A-Family” written in the memo section. Donations will be used to purchase toys, food for families and other basic needs.

The program has given presents to more than 200 families annually and has been running for more than 30 years.

For a sponsor application, visit AllenCSB.com; call the agency at 419-227-8590 and ask for Greg Sowinski to have a sponsor application sent; or email Sowinski at [email protected].

Sponsor applications are due by Nov. 1, and matching sponsors with families will occur in early to mid-November.
