Adopt a child for back to school

Too often, families who have recently escaped abuse or are currently living with abuse, struggle to make ends meet and provide for their children. 
Many wear shoes that are worn, clothing that is too small, pants that are tight or too short, or hand-me-downs that don't fit the child's interest or personality. 

Through the BHcare Back-to-School "Adopt a Child" Program, you can help these children start school on a positive note. 

• Adopt a child by providing a head-to-toe outfit, coat and backpack filled with school supplies.
• Purchase gift cards.
• Make a monetary donation in any amount which will be used to purchase clothing, school supplies and other needed items for a child.

To participate in the program, contact Marcia Jones at mjones@bhcare.org or 203-736-2601 x327 to receive, "Adoption Papers."
Complete and return the papers to the address indicated on the form. Once your paperwork is received, your "adopted" child's sizes and other pertinent information will be mailed to you, and arrangements will be made for you to deliver your gifts.
