Your chance to adopt a family for the holidays is back!

Each year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County sponsor the Adopt-a-Family program to help some of their families in need.

About 130 needy families from among the members of the B&GC are selected to be "adopted." Businesses or individuals who chose to adopt are given a list of gift the family would like to have, go out shopping, then return to gifts unwrapped to the Seaside Clubhouse. Gifts are delivered in time for the holidays.

The program is officially launched on Wednesday. Last year, 345 children benefited from the program. For more information, click here or call 831-394-5171.
