As the giving season approaches, we would like to provide an opportunity to let some of Dallas County's most vulnerable families into your life through the Head Start Adopt-a-Family Project.

Each year, we complete an extensive case management assessment of all of our 4,400 Head Start families and work diligently to help the neediest of those with basic needs like food and clothing. For this reason, we turn to the community to help us give these families the added joy of having presents for their children to open during the Holiday Season.  Due to the economy, many of the major Adopt-A-Family donors who usually adopt 100-300 families, will not be able to serve our families this year.  This leaves a tremendous need for community support.

If your family, office, neighborhood, or community organization would be interested in adopting a family through Head Start of Greater Dallas or making a donation toward the program, please call 972-283-6472 or email us. All gifts are due to Head Start's Central Office located at 3954 Gannon Lane, Dallas, TX 75237 by Friday, December 14th. The gifts are distributed by Head Start staff to the families and we ask that the gifts remain unwrapped.

Thank you for your consideration.
