Imagine being alone on the holidays...

Many of our residential clients have no family or friends to celebrate with. This holiday season, give a gift that means everything: dignity and connection. Adopt an adult through TOA's Residential Gift Drive and show them they're not forgotten.

So grateful for the amazing volunteers from .llc - they are always ready to role up their sleeves, climb on ladders, and get a bit covered in paint to ensure our residential clients are cared for.

This holiday season you or your company can make a meaningful difference in the lives of Cumberland County residents by joining TOA’s Annual Residential Gift Drive!

Many of our residential clients do not have family or friends to celebrate with, and your support helps ensure they experience the joys of the season. Your generosity brings warmth and dignity to our neighbors, reminding them that they’re not forgotten and that their community cares.

You, your office, department, or group can “adopt” residents, to fulfill their holiday wish lists. It’s a wonderful way to build team spirit while giving back to members of our community who need it most.
