student smiles with santa

120 students. 120 families. One unforgettable night. ✨

Our annual Adopt a Student event brought our community together in the most beautiful way. Students and their families enjoyed a home-cooked meal, crafts, games, and gifts chosen just for them—all made possible by our incredible Atlas staff, local businesses, and community partners.

This year we BROKE OUR RECORD, supporting 120 students (up from 79 last year!) because when this community shows up, magic happens. 💙

To every donor, volunteer, and supporter: you reminded these families that they are seen, valued, and celebrated. Thank you for being the heart of Atlas.

Specifically, we want to shout out the following who made this event our best one yet:

  • Tribe Church, for helping us welcome families who had never participated in this program before

  • Extended Stay America, for generously donating an entire load of gifts for our student raffle

  • Atlas Staff and Board of Directors, for donating over and above what they already give daily for our Atlas students and families

  • The Robinson Family, for contributing towards our event costs and gift purchases
