How it Works

October

  • Boys & Girls Club members and their families are nominated to be part of the Adopt-a-Family program by Boys & Girls Club staff.


November

  • Generous donors team up with family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers to brighten a family's holidays.
  • Donors are contacted beginning the first week of November with a wishlist from their matched family including first names, ages, children's clothing sizes, and other information that will be helpful when purchasing gifts!


December

  • Donors may join us for the Adopt-a-Family Gift Drop-off Celebration in December to drop off their gifts at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Marcos main branch (1 Positive Place, San Marcos, CA 92069).
  • Donors may wrap their gifts and drop them off OR if preferred, bring unwrapped gifts to the celebration (with a list or individually labeled items to indicate each intended recipient) and volunteer elves will take care of wrapping them!
  • BGCSM staff arrange for families to receive their gifts and take home to put under their family's tree!
  • The holidays become a more cheerful time of year for all!
