O’Brien County, Iowa — It is time for Upper Des Moines Opportunity to begin plans for brightening the Christmas season for those less fortunate in O’Brien County. Once again, low-income children/seniors will receive gifts through the Adopt a Family program/Santa For Seniors. For the program to be a success, UDMO says they need the continued support of our community.
UDMO O’Brien County says they would be most appreciative if O’Brien County residents could fit these programs into their holiday plans this season. While they encourage you to adopt a family, if that isn’t practical for you, the program also accepts monetary donations of any amount that would be used to purchase gifts for those families that don’t get adopted or need extra help.
Brenda Collier at UDMO of O’Brien County says they understand that the economy is placing significant stress on many families so they would also like to be able to meet some of their non-gift needs as they come to UDMO’s attention. She says they realize that this is also an uncertain economic time for those who give, and that makes UDMO of O’Brien County especially appreciative of the community’s generous spirit.
If you’d like to adopt one of the families on the list below, please contact Upper Des Moines Opportunity of O’Brien County at (712) 957-1023.
