St. James’ Parish Day School in South Pasadena Adopt Families in Need through Hillsides Holiday Adopt-a-Family

For the 10th year in a row, the St. James’ Parish Day School in South Pasadena has adopted families in need through the Hillsides holiday adopt-a-family program. This year, the school adopted four families. Without the generosity of organizations like St. James’ Parish Day School, families would not receive gifts for the holidays or have enough food to feed their families. St. James sets up a Christmas tree in its parish hall, and hangs holiday wishes on the tree. Families then take the wish, purchase the gift, and bring it back to the school for delivery to Hillsides.

Hillsides, over 100 years old and headquartered in Pasadena, provides high quality care, advocacy and innovative services that promote safe, permanent environments where young people can thrive. This holiday season, Hillsides is fulfilling the wishes of 80 families in need through its adopt-a-family program.
