Adopt-A-Family
Adopt-A-Family is CFUW Sudbury’s Community Outreach Program. Through the generous support of our Membership as well as our Community Partners, Sudbury families in need are provided with gifts, clothing, food and toiletries at Christmas. The families chosen through the four Sudbury Elementary School Boards, Cambrian College and All Saints Church do not receive help from any other agencies in the community. .
Adopt-A-Family has raised over $82,000 over the past 13 years. In 2017 we assisted 23 families and 58 children. ALL monies collected goes directly to the families. Donations will be accepted for the 2018 Adopt-A-Family Program beginning in September. (Click here to download a Donation form)
We are both proud and humbled to be part of this Adopt-A-Family Program.

CFUW Sudbury Adopt-A-Family Committee Says... THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Thanks once again to the generous support of the CFUW-Sudbury Membership and our Community Partners, the 2017 Adopt-A-Family Program raised over $12,000! With these funds we were able to assist 23 families and 58 children in the Greater Sudbury area, giving them the opportunity to experience the joy of Christmas. Families were provided with food vouchers, gifts, clothing, books and much-needed toiletries thanks to your generosity. During the past 13 years the Adopt-A-Family program has raised over $82,000.00. The families we served were chosen from... Rainbow District School Board Sudbury District Catholic School Board Conseil Scolaire Public Du Grand Nord de L’Ontario Conseil Scolaire Catholique du Nouvel-Ontario Cambrian College All Saints Anglican Church Please Note: We cannot accept families through the CFUW Sudbury website. We would like to thank those CFUW members who donated books, toys, Canadian Tire Money, and Bay Used Book Vouchers. The success of our program depends not only on our members support but also on the support of our Community Partners. These Community partners have enabled us to increase the number of families that we serve. We would like to acknowledge their support and thank them for helping us to serve our Sudbury families.

Adopt-A-Family Toiletry CollectingThanks to our CFUW Sudbury membership and our community partners listed below, we have sorted, collected and distributed 1300 medium Ziploc bags to the four Sudbury Elementary School Boards. They are most grateful for this support.
Some schools distribute the bags to individual students/groups of students where there is a need, one school has placed them in their food bank and others leave them in the main office for those to take as needed. One thing we know for certain is that they are needed! We will continue to collect these toiletries in 2018...and for as long as they are needed. Thank you once again for supporting this program. Your Adopt-A-Family Committee Year-Round SupportRainbow District School Board Office CFUW Sudbury Members along with many of our Community Partners are being asked to SAVE and DONATE... SAMPLE TOILETRY ITEMS (shampoo, conditioner, soaps, cream, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.) ...those items you may collect on your travel trips or trips to the dentist! CFUW Sudbury members can bring them to the monthly meetings or to their interest group facilitator. Our Community Partners will have containers for collecting and the Adopt-A-Family Committee will pick up and distribute the toiletries through the local school boards to families in need.

To quote from one of the school Thank You letters:
“There were both smiles and tears at pick up this year. Your generosity has touched many families...and we are very grateful. Each of the families you “adopted” have their own struggles and challenges throughout the year, but at
Christmas time the stress is compounded...you are making a real difference.”
