- Though donations are appreciated during any time of the year, STEAC operates a large holiday donation program (see their website) popular within the ["Davis"] community, ["campus"] community, and among local residents in need. The STEAC program "adopts" out local families to community members/groups; donors are provided with ages of their adopted family members, along with a holiday gift wish list and a grocery shopping list that includes a request for money to purchase a turkey [or other main dish]. Family sizes can range from one or two members up to about seven members -- donors should indicate if they are capable of providing for a larger family. Gift requests can be quite moderate, with only essential items such as towels, razors, etc., or may include requests for gaming software and bicycles... it's not really predictable so it's good to adopt with a group of friends or coworkers. With most stores reducing prices and ["supermarkets" grocery stores] offering two-fer savings during the holidays, it really takes very little to help out families in need during the holiday season. Donors usually have just a couple weeks to gather their donation, and you may want to contact STEAC a little over a month before the holidays because STEAC typically distributes donations around mid-December.

	+ Though donations are appreciated during any time of the year, STEAC operates a large holiday donation program popular within the Davis community, campus community, and amongst local residents in need. The STEAC program "adopts" out local families to community members/groups; donors are provided with ages of their adopted family members, along with a holiday gift wish list and a grocery shopping list that includes a request for money to purchase a turkey [or other main dish]. Family sizes can range from one or two members up to about seven members -- donors should indicate if they are capable of providing for a larger family. Gift requests can be quite moderate, with only essential items such as towels, razors, etc., or may include requests for gaming software and bicycles... it's not really predictable so it's good to adopt with a group of friends or coworkers. With most stores reducing prices and grocery stores offering two-fer savings during the holidays, it really takes very little to help out families in need during the holiday season. Donors usually have just a couple weeks to gather their donation, and you may want to contact STEAC a little over a month before the holidays because STEAC typically distributes donations around mid-December.
