We are looking for families who are interested in adopting a Tappan student through our Winter Giving Program.

We are looking for families who are interested in adopting a Tappan student through our Winter Giving Program. This program aims to provide students in need with warm winter clothing and small holiday gifts.

If you are connected with a company (or individuals of the company) who is interested in sponsoring, please reach out. Families asking for support have provided wish lists to us, which we will provide to the adopting family to help in shopping. In the past, we have tried to spend around $150-200 per student and have aimed to get both clothing and gift items from the wish list.

Purchased items can be brought to Tappan anytime before December 15th, and we can coordinate gift pick-up with families at the school. Since we are already nearing Thanksgiving, this is time-sensitive and we are looking to make sure we have support lined up for families who have requested.

Please reach out to Megan or Gwen, we appreciate any support that can be provided!
