Adopt-a-Basket
0%
23 days left

Fill a laundry basket with essential items that help local families re-stock their toiletries and household items for the Spring. These baskets mean so much to the families we serve. Giving these types of items doesn't seem glamorous, but every year we have mom's crying and thanking us for this blessing. Giving the gift of dignity is what HOPEmatch is all about!

How does this work?

1. View available baskets and choose the one that you would like to adopt.

2. You will receive a confirmation email with the list so you can begin shopping/organizing. Please provide as many specific items on the list for the person as possible.

3. Put all items in the basket and drop it off at the HOPEmatch office on Friday, 4/12 between 10am-5pm.

4. HOPEmatch will distribute the baskets on Saturday, 4/13 (inquire about volunteer opportunities!)

It's THAT EASY!

11/19 update: We are about to push out our final families of the season. There are quite a few that will be released over the next couple of days and into next week. We hope everyone who wants to participate is able to adopt a family!

We are actively vetting new families now and will continue posting new family wish lists.  If it shows that they are all adopted, we will be adding more until Thanksgiving. Please keep checking back and thank you for your patience!

Partner with HOPEmatch to provide families in our local community with support this holiday season. 

How it works:

1. Think about your budget. We ask donors to spend a minimum of $200 per person in the family. We include the adults in the family as well, so keep that in mind.

2. View the available families, read their stories, and choose the family you would like to help.

3. Immediately receive an email with a link to the wish list and instructions for you to print so you can start shopping!

4. You will be contacted by our Donor Relations person, Hannah, who will confirm your sponsorship and answer any questions you may have.

**Make sure to read all of the details of how our program works and make sure you can do all of those things before selecting a family.**

If you choose your family in October, we ask that you commit to drop off your donations between 11/30-12/6 so that we can help the maximum number of families and keep our office flowing smoothly.

Please Note: Our Holiday Program is VERY POPULAR and you may need to keep checking back for available families. We will keep posting new families up until Thanksgiving and are working as hard as possible to properly vet and get quality wish lists at a fast rate. Thank you for your patience!

Update 3/28: We will be adding more today!! Thank you for all the amazing support!

Many families in our community struggle to provide basic cleaning and hygiene items for their families. With the rising costs of inflation, this makes these necessities even more unattainable. We invite you to come alongside these families and provide HOPE in the form of a personalized basket of quality cleaning supplies, toiletries and paper products. By personalizing each basket, you as the donor, know that everything you give is appreciated and used by the family. Join us this Spring in providing a basket that makes a DIFFERENCE!

UPDATE 4/20: 

All initial families have been adopted. Thank you for the support! We do have a waitlist, so if you would like to adopt one of those baskets, we can get you that information. Please email Erin at Erin@HopeMatch.org for more information.

Families are really struggling with the economic challenges of food and gas prices increasing drastically. Those that were just barely getting by are now really getting behind. Give a boost to a family by providing a personalized laundry basket full of much needed essential items for their home and family. Each basket is tailored to what the family will actually use so that there is no waste. We believe at HopeMatch in giving the BEST we have to offer, so please consider purchasing name brand goods so that our families feel special.

Donation Drop Off: Friday, 4/29 

Location: Next Level Church (4317 Stevens Mill Rd. Matthews, NC 28104)

Thank you to everyone who supported our Adopt-a-Family program this season. We have reached capacity for the season and will not be posting any more families. We know that some people have tried so hard to get a family to sponsor and we appreciate your patience. If you did not get a family, we encourage you to be involved in another way this season, either by volunteering or giving a year end gift so we can continue to support these families in meaningful ways during 2022. Information for both options can be found our website. We appreciate each of you and could not do what we do without you!
