Beginning in 1986, the staff at Rensselaer County Department of Social Services began seeking sponsors from the community to supply money and/or gifts to the Department's most needy families during the holidays.
Any organization or individual interested in "adopting a family" or making financial contributions to the program may call Rebbecca at Rensselaer County Department of Social Services at 518-833-6000.
Please note that this program provides gifts to only the families currently working with Rensselaer County Department of Social Services of New York State. We are not able to sponsor families from other counties or states.
