About 12 years ago, men from Mariners Inn’s treatment program were charged to come up with a holiday activity that represented their gratitude for being in recovery in addition to finding a way to thank the community for their support.

After landing on the idea of the Adopt-a-Family program, the men decided to serve four families based on the main programs that Mariners Inn facilitated at that time- 90-Day Residential, Transitional Housing, Mariners Extended Residency, and Alumni. Each group held their own fundraisers to shop for the families.

Since then, Adopt-a-Family has grown exponentially, with community partners, board members, and staff involved in the adopting.

Adopt-a-Family 2020 will look different this year- we won't be hosting our annual event, but we will be delivering gifts to families!

Will you join us this year?
