December - Adopt-a-Family with Gap/Banana Republic/Old Navy Stores
2023 dates: TBD (these dates will be the week before Christmas). Dates have not been confirmed with stores as of yet.
This event is centered around the number of families the stores can support along with any additional support our non-profit will offset.
DFTH in collaboration with the GAP Stores work to assist low-income families for the end of the year and Christmas Holiday Season. These families are selected based on need and the stores along with their staff members in collaboration with our non-profit resources help provide clothing for both the guardians/parents as well as the children along with toys and gifts. This project is a big help for those who cannot afford to purchase clothing for their children as well as the guardian/parent. While this doesn't give them a year-round wardrobe it certainly is a tremendous help during the winter months.
