Greene County Adopt-a-Family (AAF) will provide holiday food boxes to Greene County families and individuals in need again this holiday season.
In 2021 more than 160 families received holiday food. These are challenging times. AAF anticipates 2022 being a record year for the number of families and individuals needing help. The food distribution will be on Dec. 17. AAF remains committed to making sure the food needs of Greene County are being met.
In addition to the food program, AAF supplied winter outerwear to 85 Greene County children. This program has served many Greene County children over the years. The 2022 winter clothing distribution was October 22. AAF is determined to help Greene County children stay warm during the cold Iowa winter.
In the past, AAF has been generously supported through donations. The volunteer board is very thankful for the support. The biggest need is funds so AAF can serve as many families as possible. Monetary donations can be sent to: Adopt-a-Family, PO Box 364, Jefferson, IA 50129.
Donations can also be made directly to the AAF account at area Peoples Bank locations.
“AAF greatly appreciates the past generosity and looks forward to working together again this year to meet the essential needs in our community,” a spokesperson said.
