Leading Families Home Donors Adopt More Families Than Ever Before During Holiday Season

During the 2024 holiday season, LFH donors were overwhelmingly generous in adopting over 160 families in our emergency shelters and housing programs. 2024 was by far the largest holiday adopt-a-family donation drive in LFH's history.


Due to the opening of LFH's second emergency shelter, located on Ashland Ave. in Toledo, more families than ever are enrolled in LFH's emergency shelter and housing programs.


LFH operates two emergency shelter locations and has hundreds of families and singles in its housing program. The Adopt-a-Family drive takes place from October to mid-December. During this time, families and single women enter emergency shelter and are housed after approximately 66 days. After their time at shelter, the families find housing and continue in LFH's program for at least two years. Families are assigned a personal Case Manager who works with the family while they are enrolled in LFH's program. The families receive behavioral health services, education, vocational training, and help with resources such as utilities, essentials, food, and legal assistance, if needed. The program is extremely successful, as 95% of those who exit remain stably housed and never face homelessness again.
