Thank you for your interest in this year's Adopt A Family Project! Below is the list of needs for the families we are helping this year. For more information or questions please contact 541-382-9227 ex. 102.
We protect the confidentiality of the families we serve, as well as the donors. For this reason, we do not distribute names and ask all donations be dropped off at the Saving Grace’s offices in Bend, Redmond, Prineville and Madras. Because of safety issues please do not wrap gifts; however, we do appreciate donations of gift bags or wrapping paper. Gift certificates are always appreciated by the mothers, as well as gas cards. If you decide to purchase toys or gifts other than those listed, please be careful not to choose anything that promotes violence, such as a toy gun. Below are examples of families representative of those using our shelter and services.
