PLEASE READ
ADOPTIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED SO WE CAN MAKE PREPARATIONS. WHILE ADOPTIONS ARE CLOSED, WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO STILL HAVE OPEN NOMINATIONS. YOU MAY DO THAT AT CCDENVER.ORG/ADOPTAFAMILY
IMPORTANT: To help the selection process go smoothly, please take a moment to read these instructions.
Thank you for visiting the Adopt-A-Family site. We’re eager to get you connected with an individual or family.
We have a new system this year and ask for your patience as you register.
Here are the steps:
- If you haven’t volunteered with Catholic Charities in the past couple of months, you’ll need to make an account with our new volunteer platform Give Pulse.
- If you do have an account, log in.
- Once you've logged into your account, scroll down and click on the number of people you'd like to support this holiday season.
- You will be directed to a “Request to Join” button, which is necessary in order to become part of our system. It is a quick form to fill out that will help us stay in touch with you during the Adopt-A-Family program.
- Scroll down and click on their names and you'll get information about them. (But don't click register yet.)
- Helpful Hint: Give Pulse calls people "shifts" so when you see "shift," think person or people.
- Hit the back button to see more people you might like to choose.
- Once you've decided on a person or family, click REGISTER next to the family or individual's name that you'd like to "adopt".
- A popup window will appear slowly and will display a list of names. Find your person's name by searching shifts or scrolling through the list. Click on that name and it will be highlighted in blue at the top.
- Scroll to the bottom and click NEXT.
- Agree to the Liability Release Form and click UPDATE.
- You should get a Registration Completed popup and an email will be sent to your inbox shortly. Thank you for your patience with our new system.
