The Christmas season is here with all the excitement, anticipation and opportunities to share your blessings with others. The STC Adopt-A-Family committee is here to help. Everyone “adopted” is from the STC School district, so you really are helping your neighbor. This is a wonderful opportunity to share as you can with those who currently have little by:

Adopting an individual or an entire family and purchasing gifts for them. “Wishmas Trees” with name tags (each coded for confidentiality) and gift suggestions are located at the State Farm Insurance office at 101 S. County Road (intersection of High St. and Hwy 63), Medicap Pharmacy at 108 2nd Ave. and Fareway Grocery at 1005 S. County Rd.

Purchasing food certificates for the holidays meals.

Cash donation for the purchase of gifts or food certificates. Checks may be made payable to “STC Adopt-A-Family”.

The purchased gifts, food certificates and cash donations need to be delivered to Medicap Pharmacy, State Farm Insurance or the State Bank of Toledo by Friday, December 13th for distribution on the 20th. The goal is for each individual to receive a gift and for each family to receive a food certificate.

With the generous support of individuals, organizations and businesses, the STC Adopt-A-Family committee has been able to brighten the holidays for approximately 100 families each year for more than 25 years.

The committee is composed entirely of community volunteers: Dan and Micki Ferris, Cindy Roth, Margaret Scharnweber, Denise and Larry Fletcher, Donna Smith, Lesa Haughey, Darcy Smith, Becca Chyma, Rachel Doran, Dalia Fuentes and Sarah Rodriquez. If you have any questions, please give one of them a call.
