The annual Adopt-A-Child Christmas Program is designed to provide a special Christmas gift for more than 400 children in Adair County, ages newborn to 16, who otherwise might not receive a gift. Sign-ups for Adopt-A-Child begin on October 1, 2025, and last until December 16, 2025, at the Community Action Partnership of Northeast Missouri (CAPNEMO) at 215 S. Elson St. Registration can be done Monday to Thursday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, or by calling 660.665.9855 between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Thursday. Only the child’s legal guardian may apply. Please provide proof of guardianship, SNAP benefits, and names and ages of children in the household (can be obtained through the Adair County Family Services Office in Kirksville).
