Adopt a Family is a program to help take some weight off of the food bank and Angel Tree hampers.

The Catholic Women’s League at St. Viator’s Church puts on the program.

When you sign up, you receive a grocery list and are told the ages of any children in the family to buy food and Christmas presents for.

The grocery list includes stuffing (stovetop etc), cranberry sauce, can vegetable (peas, corn, beans etc), canned fruit, Kraft Dinner or other pasta, canned meat (Klic, Spam, tuna, flakes of ham etc.), soups, cookies, juice, tea bags, coffee, cereal, cake mix, sugar, crackers, margarine, jelly powder/pudding powders, Christmas candy, spreads (jam, peanut butter etc.).

Monday is the last day to adopt a family and buy groceries and gifts.

If you’d like to adopt a family, call Laverne Hudson at 204-638-6013.
