California Adopt A Family Campaign



How YOU Can Help

Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) is pleased to announce its 3rd annual California Adopt-A-Family Holiday Campaign! The holiday season is a happy time filled with warmth, love, generosity and hope – and it is through the generous donations that we are able to launch and continue this much needed program.

TACA will be adopting approximately 20-30 families of all faiths to help provide the things that will make this holiday special. For the families adopted, we will be providing holiday gifts for their children which could also include: assistance with special needs such as diapers, groceries, vitamin supplements, etc., as well as the delivery of a special holiday dinner. Holiday giving will be valued at approximately $200 in total and will be based on family need and family size.

Need Help? Apply to be Adopted – Deadline December 10, 2007
