InnVision, which provides services for homeless and at-risk families, including in Menlo Park, has kicked off its drive for donations and volunteers for the holiday season.

The organization has an "Adopt-A-Family" program, which allows churches, businesses, schools, community groups and others to pool their donations for an entire family.

InnVision is seeking donations of new toys and gifts, stocking stuffers, new warm jackets, particularly for children, new underwear and socks, new toiletry items, gift cards to shopping outlets, and clothing for children under 18 years old.

The organization will be accepting donations between now and Dec. 19. Cash donations can be sent to InnVision at 974 Willow St., San Jose, 95125.

Gift donations can also be dropped off between 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday at the organization's Georgia Travis Center, located at 297 Commercial St. in San Jose.

For the "Adopt-A-Family" program, contact Jaynie Neveras at (408) 213-5186 or (408) 292-4286, ext. 1018. People wanting to volunteer can call the same phone numbers, or apply online at www.innvision.org.
