Dear Mt. SAC Campus Community,

As we enter the holiday season, we invite you to share in the spirit of giving by supporting the Mt. SAC CARE Adopt-a-Family Holiday Program, now celebrating 29 years of bringing joy and hope to our student parents and their childre

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our campus sponsors, last year we brightened the holidays for 69 families — including 155 children! Your kindness created unforgettable memories for our parenting students, reminding them that their Mt. SAC community truly cares.

This year, as many support programs face funding reductions, our student parents are experiencing even greater challenges. We hope to expand our reach to include both CARE and CalWORKs student families — and we need your help to make it possible.

🌟 Two Ways to Give:

Option 1: Make a Monetary Donation

Donate directly to the CARE Adopt-a-Family Fund through the Mt. SAC Foundation website, and our CARE team will lovingly shop for and deliver gifts on your behalf. All donations are tax-deductible.

Option 2: Adopt a Family

Take a more personal approach by adopting a family! We’ll provide you with a wish list so you can shop directly for the parent and child(ren).

Every contribution—large or small—helps lift the burden for our parenting students, ensuring their families experience warmth, dignity, and joy this holiday season.

Thank you for helping us continue this cherished Mt. SAC tradition of compassion and community. Together, we can make the holidays a little brighter for those who need it most.
