Adopt a Family program needs additional sponsors

Only five more days until Christmas! Time is getting short for residents to call the Fallbrook Food Pantry and agree to sponsor a needy family for Christmas.

The need is particularly great this year. Not only have many of these families been affected by the October fires, but due to a slower economy, money is in scarce supply in many local households.

Sponsors can help a family of limited income by providing food for a holiday meal as well as a wrapped Christmas present for each child in the family. Sponsors will experience the joy of giving and see the excitement in the eyes of the children they will meet!

For more information, call the Fallbrook Food Pantry at (760) 728-5682.
