Hundreds of Washoe County families in need of holiday assistance

The Women and Children’s Center of the Sierra (WACCS) is hosting its adopt-a-family holiday program for the ninth consecutive year. Due to increased applications this year, WACCS is still seeking donations for about 185 families waiting to be adopted.

Their adopt adopt-a-family program has the lowest barrier to entry in the community and does not require proof of income to be eligible. They do require proof of guardianship.

“Making Christmas something so special for somebody who really wouldn’t be able to provide this for their children is a magical experience,” Co-Executive Director Alex Nevarez said.

In 2022, WACCS opened up applications for the program throughout the entire month of November.
