Adopt A Family

Adopt A Family

Single-parent families. Grandparents raising grandchildren. Mothers laid-off. Father looking for work. No money. No food. Everyone's hungry. Hundreds of Clark County residents are barely able to scrape-up enough money for the barest necessities, let alone enough to buy holiday gifts for their families. Won't you help a needy family celebrate the spirit of the holiday this season?

    The Columbian's late owner and publisher Don Campbell originated the People In Need program in 1979. He felt The Columbian, with its broad readership and spirit of community outreach, should be a positive force in helping less fortunate in Clark County. Today, third generation owners Scott & Jody Campbell, believe in the same founding principles of the program. People In Need helps those in need and creates long-lasting partnerships within the community.

Thank You! All families have been adopted!
