Thanksgiving Adopt-a-Family Was a Huge Success — Now Christmas Is Up Next!

Nov 26, 2025 | Uncategorized

Save the Family’s Adopt-a-Family season is officially underway — and thanks to our incredible community, Thanksgiving was a beautiful reminder of just how much kindness lives here in the Valley.

This week, a steady stream of cars showed up at our Mesa headquarters with Thanksgiving groceries and gift cards for families working to rebuild, help get prepared for the holiday season.

Here’s a news clip from that day:

This year’s Adopt-a-Family program received an early boost from a $10,000 gift from SRP, helping ensure families overcoming homelessness have what they need to celebrate the season. “This cherished tradition gives families more than food and presents—it reminds them that their community cares,” shared Robyn Julien, CEO of Save the Family.
