Yes. When we email you the information on your adopted family, we ask that you contact them within a week or so of receiving the details, and let them know that you are their sponsor this year.
On our Guidelines for Hampers page, we have some suggestions for food items that you may wish to purchase. When speaking with the parent/guardian you could also check for any likes/dislikes/allergies etc. that they may have.
The cost for sponsoring a family changes based on the number of members in the family. Please see the chart below for reference:
| Family Size | Expected Cost |

| 4 | $350 – $450 |
| 5 | $400 – $550 |
| 5-7 | $500 – $750 |
| 7 or more | $700+ |
