THE ADOPT A GRANDPARENT HOLIDAY PROGRAM
Creating Holiday Magic for local low income seniors!
The Adopt A Grandparent Holiday Program is definitely a senior favorite!
This program offers each participating senior the opportunity to create a wish list of items they may want or need, but may not be able to afford.
We then work with the community to fill those wish lists and make Christmas magic happen for our participating seniors.
So many of the seniors in our programs don’t have family close by to support them. This is our way of letting them know that they are not alone or forgotten.
The seniors that participate in our programs reside in low income living facilities, nursing homes and/or memory care facilities.
We also support seniors through McHenry County Senior Services.
Here’s an easy way to support our Adopt A Grandparent seniors by providing a gift they have requested.
Items can be purchased anywhere and dropped off at the Fisher Outreach Group, Inc. office located at 8600 US Hwy 14, Suite 106A, Crystal Lake (lower level). Monday-Friday 8am-4:30. If an alternate day/time is needed please let us know.

Won't you help us spread love and kindness to our McHenry County seniors?
Why we started the adopt a grandparent programs
To honor my parents.
In 2019 both my mother and father passed away suddenly just four months apart. Our family was struggling. My children and grandchildren had such a connection to their grandparents and now they were gone.
In 2020 we saw a local nursing home asking for donations of Christmas gifts for their senior residents because they had been so lonely and isolated through the Covid pandemic. They wanted to do something nice to cheer up their residents. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic we were not holding our annual event for local children and families in need, so our family decided to Adopt all of the Grandparents in that facility and we provided the gifts they were requesting, as a way to honor my parents.
That led us to research what programs were available for our local seniors who may not have a strong support system, and realizing there was a need the Adopt A Grandparent Programs were created.
My parents are no longer with us, but through these programs my family has found a way to honor their memory by helping others.
We welcome you to join us as we share kindness and love with our local seniors who may need it the most - and remind them that they are not alone or forgotten!
The Adopt A Grandparent programs work with low income seniors and senior veterans residing in senior living facilities, nursing homes and memory care facilities.

What a terrific way to kick off the Adopt A Grandparent Garden Program!
This program is an opportunity to help our seniors access fresh food, which many of them are struggling to afford.
No one should have to choose between fresh food and toilet paper or other everyday necessities.
In addition many of our seniors are unable to get to local food pantry's because they either don't drive or don't have a car.
Our programs brings the Farmers Market right to them at their low income, independent living facilities so they can get what they need for FREE!
