JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - TelAve -- Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to families and children, is calling on the Northeast Florida community to help bring joy to local families in need this Christmas through its "Adopt a Family" initiative.

Through the program, volunteers are matched with local families in need of support this holiday season, giving them the opportunity to fulfill the family's wish list and deliver those gifts directly to the family. Donors can choose how many children and parents they'd like to sponsor. The deadline to sign up to Adopt a Family is Dec. 12 at BetterTogetherUS.org/Xmas-Adopt.

"With prices continuing to rise and families already struggling to meet basic needs, the holidays can be a challenge" said Megan Rose, CEO of Better Together. "With the community's support, we can ensure the families we serve have a gift to wake up to on Christmas."

Established in Southwest Florida in 2015, the nonprofit's programming has rapidly expanded to reach families in six regions of Florida, which span 48 counties. To date, Better Together has served more than 15,000 children, and 98% of children served through mentoring and hosting remain out of foster care. The nonprofit has also connected more than 46,000 job seekers to employment opportunities through church-based job fairs across 24 states.
