What kind of gifts does Coins for Kids provide to families?
Gifts for kids vary depending on the program assigned the names.
Due to large number of applicants, we cannot provide computers, stereos,
Nintendos, Playstations, and other expensive requests. Gifts can be exchanged
after Christmas for size, color, etc, but may NOT be redeemed for cash.

If the family will
not be at home during those hours, they need to make prior arrangements.

Can I adopt an entire family?
Yes!!! You may adopt an entire family. When you adopt a family you
will be matched with a family in the area. You will get a list of the children
and ages and information on what types of gifts they would like. You will then
be responsible to shop, wrap, and deliver the gifts to the family. Adopting
families greatly helps Coins for Kids help many more children each year that we
would be able to without this assistance.

If I adopt a family am I responsible
for the parents?
No, Coins for Kids exists to help provide Christmas for needy
children in the local area who otherwise would go without presents at Christmas
time. If you adopt a family you will be responsible for providing gifts for the
children in the home.

What if children have special needs?
Every year Coins for Kids receive requests from children with
special needs, (ie: eye exams and glasses, hearing aids, beds, heaters, windows
replaced, etc.). Coins for Kids has been able to fulfil most of these special
needs through special contributions from companies and families that would like
to fulfil these needs for these children.
