Our unique Adopt a Family for Christmas program will allow you to make a difference in a needy child’s life during this Holiday Season. It’s easy and confidential-- we match Sponsors with a chosen family and give the age and gender of the children. The anonymity of both the families and the sponsors is strictly maintained. Sponsors send $25 per child to Armenian Family Support Services, 920 Progress Avenue, Toronto, M1G 3T5 . |

We purchase a gift card for the entire amount and present it in a gift bag, together with a cute little stuffed toy, to the family in time for Christmas. All extra donations will be used for AFSS projects throughout the year. A tax receipt is issued for all donations.
This Christmas reach out and touch a needy family. Your kindness will be remembered for years to come.
