PARTNERS
AFS is seeking community partners to adopt one of our orange wreaths for our Wish Upon a Wreath holiday campaign. A business or community organization can adopt an orange wreath and help fill the holiday gift wishes of hundreds of Northern California foster children and youth. Holiday time can be particularly difficult for these young people. The season’s strong emphasis on family and closeness often only serves to remind them of how much they have lost. Your holiday gifts can help ease that pain and support a feeling of worth. Please contact Jennifer Harper at (510)759-1271 to participate in Wish Upon a Wreath.
