With the holidays season already nipping at our nose, The Basin Wide Foundation is launching their “Adopt a Child Program”. Reporter Taylor Thacker tells you how to get involved…
It’s that time of year where we start getting ready for Christmas time by buying gifts and setting up decorations! However, there are some kids who end up in foster homes or temporary care during the holidays. The Basin Wide Foundation’s Dreams for Kids Christmas “Adopt A Child” program gives you a chance to be their Santa this Christmas! If you sign up, you will be assigned your “adopted” child or “adopted family,” given their name, age, and any special requests they might have. You will be asked to spend between $35 and $40 per child that you adopt on a gift. Lastly, just drop the gifts off by December 13, to the Basin Wide Foundation office at 56711 29 Palms Hwy., located inside the California Welcome Center. On Christmas morning, you will know that somewhere in the Morongo Basin there is a child with bright little eyes opening up your gift! For more information, or to sign up, call 760-365-7219.
