Adopt-A-Family

The mission of Adopt-A-Family is to strengthen families with children in their efforts to achieve stability and self-sufficiency by providing access to all-encompassing services. Adopt-A-Family's work began in 1983, when our three founders "adopted" a family of four - a husband, wife, and two young children, who had been so hard-hit by medical bills that there was no money left to pay rent. With nowhere else to go, the family was sleeping under a bridge. By providing support, our founders helped this family find a home, achieve stability, and reclaim dignity. This sparked a desire to identify and assist more Palm Beach County families in crisis. In 1984, Adopt--A-Family incorporated as a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit charitable organization. Since its founding, the agency has served more than 53,000 families in Palm Beach County. Adopt-A-Family operates an extensive range of programs for homeless, formerly homeless, and low-income families with children.
