Seasonal Giving

CAPTAIN CHS is in the business of helping our neighbors year-round, offering seasonal programming from Free Summer Meals to our Holiday Toy Shop. As the seasons change, check back to see how we help, and how you can help.

School Supplies will be posted in early July.

If you have questions, please contact our office at 518-371-1185.

Thanks to our community for all of your incredible support!

    During the months of July and August, CAPTAIN CHS collects school supplies for those students in need so that they are better prepared for the classroom and their educations. With their family's help, students can then complete their classroom list. Supplies are distributed to students in the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake and Shenendehowa School Districts.

    The 2024 School Supply program is complete. Details on 2024 will be posted in July 2025.
