Adopt a Family 2021

12/16/2021

DFCU’s annual Adopt a Family Program has returned once again and this year, we are happy to have adopted a total of 12 families from our communities of Compton, Bellflower, and Downey. Thanks to the contributions from Team DFCU, we were able to donate $1,800 to families in need of some extra holiday cheer. To celebrate, families were invited to join us in a night filled with delicious food, fun games, giveaways, gifts, and holiday spirit. A special thank you to Downey Unified School District, Caring Connections Bellflower, Our Place Healing Hearts, and The Children’s Institute for your support, and for everything you do to support the families and children in our community.
