Adopt an ASU Family 2026
The holiday season invites us to open our hearts, care for one another, and share what we can. It is a season of giving—and an opportunity to remind those around us that they are part of a community that cares.
For some ASU families, the joy of the holidays comes with financial challenges. Through Adopt an ASU Family, ASU Staff Council brings our community together to offer support, ease a little worry, and help make the season brighter.
If giving is already part of your holiday plans, we warmly ask you to consider making Adopt an ASU Family part of your generosity. Whether you give as an individual, a family, or a department, your kindness can bring comfort and joy to a fellow Sun Devil family.
There are several meaningful ways to participate:
- Adopt a family: Come together with colleagues, loved ones, or on your own to help fulfill a family’s holiday needs.
- Make a one-time donation: Grocery store or retail gift cards offer families welcome support and flexibility.
- Request support: If your family could use assistance this season, we invite you to reach out. The program is anonymous, and participating families are selected based on demonstrated financial need.
To express interest in giving or receiving support, please complete the Adopt an ASU Family Interest Form. Every contribution matters. A gift card, a thoughtfully chosen gift, or a department coming together can help a family feel supported and remembered during a difficult time.
Please share this invitation and flyer with colleagues, neighboring departments, and anyone who may wish to give or could benefit from support. Together, we can extend the warmth of the season throughout our Sun Devil community.
To our past donors, THANK YOU for the love and generosity you have shared. Your support has helped make this program a meaningful expression of care within our ASU community!
From our ASU Staff Council family to yours, may your holidays be filled with love, kindness, and connection. Thank you for considering a gift that brings those same feelings to another family.
