The Tarkio/Westboro Ministerial Alliance has launched its annual “Adopt-a-Child” Christmas program. This year, Tarkio will be handling the adoptions for Fairfax also. Applicants should apply through Community Services this year. The “Adopt-a-Child” program is a way to provide assistance for families who have found themselves in a situation that hinders them from providing for Christmas.

Qualified families or individuals may apply for adoption through Monday, November 16, at 12:00 noon. No applications will be taken after that date (no exceptions). Call Community Services at 660-736-4646 to set up an appointment for application You must call ahead.
