New Twist on Holiday Giving

Employees can use seasonal parties and gift exchanges as a way to help local families in need through the Adopt-a-Family Program, sponsored by the Office of Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs. Gifts collected go to help at-risk youth, foster children and families in crisis. Faculty, staff members or departments "adopt" a person, family or agency and purchase gifts from a wish list written by the recipients.

For more information about the program or to submit an adoption request, go to www.jhu.edu/hr1/fsrp/adopt_fam.html or contact Sondra Ponzi at sponzi1@jhu.edu or 410-516-0338. Gifts and donations are due by Friday, Dec. 14.
