Adopt a Family Battling Pediatric Cancer for the Holidays 2026
2026-10-17 - 2026-12-24 | Multiple Locations, 400 Prospect Avenue, Monrovia, CA, 91016, United States
Many families with children battling cancer are buried in debt due to medical expenses and cannot afford to put gifts under the tree. Every year Here to Serve adopts cancer families to volunteers who want to make holiday wishes come true! You can either adopt an entire family and have a group of friends, your extended family or office group or department buy the gifts or you can adopt a single member of a large family. Here to Serve provides a gift wish list (including sizes and color preferences) for the entire family (mom and dad included) and we ask that a minimum of $125 to $150 be spent on each family member.

Adopt a Family or Family Member No LATER than November 20, 2026
Please check with us if you would like to adopt a family for the holidays and it is after November 20, 2026. Sometimes we add last minute families. Email Katie@heretoserve.org to inquire.

If you would like to financially sponsor a family (rather than adopt and shop) please consider donating for:

Family of Three ($450)
Family of Four ($600)
Family of Five ($750)
Family of Six ($900)
