                             Annual People Against Poverty Campaign  (Held in December)

                                                   Adopted Families for Christmas/Kwanzza

                                     

  

During the holiday season, CWAH has the “People Against Poverty Campaign”, in partnership with the St. Louis American; 10- 15 families [who have written to the paper] are selected to help and be“adopt” during the holiday season. The familes are chosen by a Special Selection Committee - not The STL American or CWAH.

Read the St. Louis American to gain insight on what some families need, or contact CWAH, and select a family to adopt and tailor your giving specifically to them. [monetary gift, gift cards. NEW clothing, shoes, toys, books, school supplies, furniture, appliances, assistance with utility bills, etc.]

The families chosen will become CWAH clients and will continue to participate in the programs & workshops offered by CWAH.


It is also, and perhaps more importantly, a golden opportunity to give back
 
Once the familes are selected, they are contacted and a volunteer case manager (along with the CWAH social worker). They visit the family to see what are their concerns and needs.  A Christmas/Kwanzza celebration is given to all the selected familes; where they are given a special dinners and their donated gifts. Those families then become CWAH clients and began to attend the CWAH programs and workshops to become more self sufficient.
