Sparta Troop 150 takes great pride in the Adopt-A-Family program we run every year to help families and individuals that are in great need during the Holiday season. Troop 150 Scouts have done this program for over 20 years. The families and individuals that Troop 150 sponsors are provided to us through local community churches. 90% of the items purchased are shoes, socks, coats, essential clothing, blankets and sometime just paper goods. The Troop challenges itself to always help as many families as possible.
The Scouts of Troop 150 are directly involved. They get the wish list for each person and then do the actual shopping for these items. They experience the challenge of staying within a budget while trying to get everything requested. They also are often humbled when they see the basic necessities that people ask for as Holiday gifts.
The funding that supports this program is raised mainly through donations from people like you and fundraising events conducted by the Scouts! Thank you for considering support of this Troop 150 community support program.
