DSACO's Adopt-A-Family Donor Registration

Spread Holiday Cheer: Support Families in Need

In 2025, donors and local community organizations provided gifts, handmade blankets, basic need items and gift cards to 100 people with Down syndrome and their families. You can support DSACO families this holiday season by choosing one of these impactful ways to help:

Ways You Can Help:

  1. Adopt a DSACO Family: Choose a family size, receive their wish list, then shop, wrap, and label gifts to help make their holidays brighter. The suggested gift range is $50-$75 per person. You will be matched and receive wish list(s) via email by the end of the day on November 20. Donor gift drop off dates are December 7 - 9 at the BMW Financial Services office in Grandview Heights.
  2. Sponsor a DSACO Member: Want to support DSACO’s Adopt-A-Family Program without the time commitment of shopping, wrapping, and dropping off gifts? We’ve made it easy! Choose how many people you would like to support, and DSACO will take care of the rest. We’ll shop, wrap and label the gifts, and ensure each family receives them before the holidays!
  3. Provide General Adopt-A-Family Support: Directly contribute to DSACO’s Adopt-A-Family Program.

Funds donated to DSACO’s Adopt-A-Family Program will be used directly to support the program, including providing gifts and essential items to families in need.

Did you know?

Families of children with developmental disabilities are twice as likely to face financial hardship. Increased healthcare costs, limited employment opportunities for caregivers, and the need for specialized care services often lead to significant economic challenges. This holiday season, you can make a real difference in the lives of these families. 

Why Your Support Matters

Your generosity not only brings joy during the holidays but also provides crucial stability and resources to families facing unique challenges. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. Thank you for being a part of our mission and for your support of the DSACO community.
