The Institute Adopts Family

Staff at The Institute for Educational Research and Public Service sought to brighten the festive season for as many as possible by adopting a family for the holidays.  A family of eleven members was adopted through the Christmas Bureau, a division of the United Way of Greater Topeka.  Each family member was provided articles of clothing and gifts.  Gift certificates were provided to purchase items for a holiday meal. 

Each year, The Institute rotates the selection of a family from the major communities served:  Kansas City, Lawrence and Topeka.
