Veteran Family Holiday Adoption
The team has chosen to adopt veteran families this year for the holidays. We understand that some veterans strive to make the most of the holidays for their family, even though they may be struggling financially. To help with this, we have decided to help some families by relieving the stress of buying gifts for their children. Depending on the number of entries, the needs of the families, and the amount of donations; the team would like to assist with the purchasing of gifts for the kids of all the families that do not have the means to provide gifts for their children.

November 25th - December 5th: Shopping to be conducted.
December 6th-17th: Time allotted for shipping and in store shopping.

Help Sponsor a Family
To make these holiday adoptions work, we rely on donors like you! Whether you want to partially sponsor a family, fully sponsor a family, or sponsor multiple families; we welcome your donations. Depending on the amount of donations, we may adopt more families or increase the budget for the families. We are not asking for every donor to donate a large amount, we understand that this time of year can be tight financially. We just ask that you help us change these family's Christmas with what ever you may have. It can be $5, $10, $25, or however much you can afford. In 2021, we supported 41 children, so donations are greatly appreciated and needed!
If you wish to donate material items, please contact us at info@ts4v.com to determine the availability of items and to set up a meeting time. We do ask that all gifts be new. This means that the items are still in the packaging or items like clothes still have the tags on them.
