Want to help make Christmas merrier for some children and their families? The Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center’s annual Adopt-A-Family program is underway.

The Center is seeking donors to purchase gifts for individual families identified as in need. Last year, the program helped 261 children have a brighter holiday. To help, Simply contact ECCAC and select a family from their list, shop for them, and bring unwrapped gifts by December 14 or sooner to the Niceville center.

ECCAC’s mission is to prevent child abuse and neglect, protect children in Okaloosa and Walton Counties, and restore the lives and futures of these impacted children.

To make arrangements to Adopt-A-Family, call 850-833-9237, or email Katie Crowell.
