The holiday season is a time to pause, reflect, and look for ways to support those around us. For the Marcel Digital team, one of the most meaningful ways we do that is by participating in Rush University Medical Center’s Adopt-a-Family program, an initiative that helps provide essential items and gifts to families facing financial hardship.
Continuing a Holiday Tradition
Each year, Marcel Digital team members come together to support a local family through the Adopt-a-Family program. After receiving a family profile and wish list, our team shops together for thoughtful gifts and everyday necessities designed to make the holidays a little brighter.
This shared experience allows our team to step away from daily responsibilities and focus on something truly impactful. From coordinating the shopping list to wrapping and organizing gifts, it’s a collective effort that reinforces the importance of community and compassion.
About Rush’s Adopt-a-Family Program
Rush’s Adopt-a-Family program is led by the Office of Community Health Equity and Engagement and connects Rush employees and partner organizations with families facing financial challenges during the holiday season. The program works through collaborations with nonprofits, service agencies, and churches to reach families who need extra support.
Many participating families live well below 200% of the federal poverty line, and some are experiencing homelessness, making this support especially meaningful during the holidays.
Get Involved
We’re proud to continue supporting Rush’s Adopt-a-Family program and the families it serves each year. Community involvement remains a core part of Marcel Digital’s culture, and we look forward to finding more ways to make a positive impact in the future.
