Adopt-A-Family for Christmas

Brighter Within, Inc., Neighbor

You can help share the joy of the holiday season by giving hope to children and families in need. Brighter Within, Inc. makes it possible for those with a generous spirit to make the holidays brighter by becoming "Santa" for hundreds of families in need in our community. The agency’s annual" Adopt-A-Family" Program pairs donors with families by giving a wish list and a profile of the family.
Donors are asked to bring unwrapped gifts for each family member to Brighter Within, Inc. at 87 Church Street, East Hartford, CT 06108 during the week of Monday, December 16, 2013 to Thursday, December 19, 2013. ( We can also arrange for pickup) 

If you are unable to provide for an entire family, gift items for teenagers and adults, or gift cards for Target, Wal-Mart, grocery stores, gas stations and movie theatres are also welcome.


If you prefer to send a gift card by mail, please send  to the address belowBrighter Within, Inc., P. O. Box 32, Hartford, CT 06141
