Twenty-two years ago I became a volunteer with Coastside Hope's Adopt-A-Family Program during the holidays. I started out wrapping presents which I don't like to do. I made the comment that "this program is so great, more people need to know about it". After that I volunteered to help with publicity about the program and it's other services. The organization is a lifeline for those in need. The needs of course are always increasing, especially now. Twenty-two years later I still am helping with the Adopt-A-Family program and getting the word out about what they do all year long to help people. It is a wonderful organization that gives from the heart and inspires others to do the same. - Cheryl S.
