We have families as small as a single child, up to many children.  If you would like to make a specific request, please contact us with the number of children you would like in your family, and any ideas of ages and gender.

 Absolutely!  We see this all the time.  It's a great way to share the holiday spirit of giving with others and build community.  Contact us with your commitment level, and we'll connect you with a family (or families) that will fit your needs
