Help Needy Families

Johns Hopkins employees can brighten up the holidays for needy area families through two holiday efforts sponsored by the Office of Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs: the Vernon Rice Memorial Butterball Turkey and Adopt-a-Family programs.

The Vernon Rice Memorial Butterball Turkey Program, named in honor of the staff member who started the effort in 1993, provides Butterball turkey gift certificates to families in need. FSRP works with St. Anthony's of Padua Church in West Baltimore to identify recipients. To participate, send a check or money order, in $15 increments and made payable to JHU Butterball, to the Office of Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs, 631-N. Wyman Park, 3400 N. Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21218- 2693. Checks must be received by Nov. 15 to help families with Thanksgiving and by Dec. 14 to assist with the December holidays. For more information, download a flier at www.jhu.edu/butterball.html.

The Adopt-a-Family/Adopt-an-Agency Program provides families and individuals with gifts, clothing and food that they might not otherwise be able to afford. Details on the specific needs of pre-identified families and social service agencies are available for faculty, staff, students or departments that wish to participate. Those interested in helping are asked to complete an online request form available at www.jhu.edu/~hr1/fsrp/adopt_fam_form.html.

For more information, go to ww.jhu.edu/~hr1/fsrp/adopt_fam.html.

Contact Sondra Ponzi at sponzi1@jhu.edu or 410-516-0338 with any questions about either of the programs.
