Adopt a Family for ChristmasExperience the joy of bringing smiles and feelings of deep appreciation from families who may be struggling to meet basic needs as well as bring some pleasure to their children during the holiday season. In addition to helping some international student families on campus, we would like to include a few non-Adventist families in Berrien Springs, and also assist Harbor of Hope Church in Benton Harbor as they reach out to their immediate neighbors.
