CareShare Holiday Giving - Putnam City Schools Foundation

2022 Holiday Adoption Program

CareShare connects low-income Putnam City students with generous holiday gift adopters. Each recipient family is vetted by our professional counselors. We expect to serve over 1,200 kids this season and would love to have your help!

Thank you to all that signed up to adopt a Putnam City student! CareShare is made possible by wonderful volunteers like you!

Here's how it works:

Place each child’s gifts in a separate bag or box labeled with the child’s school, family number, name and age (Example: Arbor Grove, Family #20, Peter, age 6)
Gifts for parents are optional and no parent wish lists are provided

GROUP ADOPTERS:

Appoint a coordinator to organize the gifts collected ensuring they follow the guidelines above before your delivery day.

GIFT DELIVERY:
