THANK YOU! 961 families adopted in 2021.

The Current Crisis This Holiday SeasonCOVID-19’s Longlasting Impact
As they recover from the pandemic,1 out of every 3 Franklin County families still cannot meet their basic needs, including safe housing.
More than 15% of all Ohio families are behind on mortgage or rent amidst the pandemic. Of those, 35% say it’s likely they will have to leave their home due to eviction or foreclosure in the next few months.
57% of low-income families have experienced income or employment loss – more than any other group during the pandemic.
Due to the pandemic, low-income families face the most stressors compared to other families, such as missing payments or depression, pushing them deeper into poverty.
During COVID-19, the City of Columbus has seen spikes up to 31% in domestic violence calls, as well as 35% increase in domestic violence related deaths.
“People weren’t earning enough money to begin with, and now they’re not earning any money. We’re concerned about a serious wave of evictions and potentially homelessness in the months to come.
It’s a crisis level at this point.”
– Marcus Roth, Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio
How Adopt-A-Family Will Restore Hope
for local families in crisis this holiday
Adopt A Family provides 1,000 local families with essential furniture
Local families receive between 5 and 20 pieces of furniture
Furniture provides stability, memories, and hope during uncertain times
A safe, furnished home is where a family can actually be a family this holiday season. A holiday meal is shared around the dinner table, board-game-banter takes place at the coffee table, and a precious holiday bedtime story is made possible on a child’s mattress and bedframe. These are the hope-filled moments and memories that every family needs – especially during the holidays.
This season, we can give the gift of a furnished home to local struggling families and their children. Through Adopt-A-Family, they will finally receive both the essential furniture and hope they so desperately deserve.
