12/1 UPDATE: 200 ADOPTERS STILL NEEDED

The Shawnee County Christmas Bureau is an annual tradition that allows everyone in our community to make the holiday season brighter for our Shawnee County neighbors in need. United Way and other community partners connect thousands of individuals and families to a holiday meal and gifts by matching them with agencies or community “adopters.” The tabs below contain information for those needing help and those wanting to provide help by volunteering/adopting a family. Other holiday help programs are in place in other counties and are listed on separate tabs.

Adopter information can be found below under Adopter Info (Shawnee Co.) tab.

If you are not able to adopt a family this year but would like to make a donation, you can do that safely and securely online or you can mail or bring your donation to our Topeka office at 1527 SW Fairlawn Rd., Topeka, KS 66604. Our office is open to the public between 9 am and 4 pm Monday through Thursday and 9 am and 1 pm on Friday.
