‘Tis the season of giving—a time when many of us are shopping for the perfect gifts, wrapping up cozy surprises, or baking treats for loved ones. While the holidays bring joy and celebration, they can also be a challenging time for many in our community. Some families struggle to provide gifts, food, or warmth, and others may face the holidays alone.
If you’re able to give more this season, CAPTAIN CHS offers many ways to share your generosity and spread holiday cheer. Here are five ways you can make a real impact this holiday season:
1. Give to CAPTAIN programs in someone’s name.
Looking for a meaningful gift? Make a donation to CAPTAIN CHS in honor of a loved one. Your gift will support children, families, and seniors in our community—helping ensure they have a brighter holiday season and a stronger start to the new year.
2. Support local families through Help for the Holidays.
CAPTAIN CHS helps families and children receive gifts, warm clothing, and food during the holiday season. Consider donating items, gift cards, or funds to help us reach even more people in need. Every contribution brings joy to a local family.
3. Volunteer your time.
Volunteers are the heart of CAPTAIN CHS. This holiday season, consider giving the gift of your time by helping at food pantries, youth programs, or senior services. Your presence and support can make a tangible difference in someone’s life.
4. Give essentials to shelters.
Winter is a challenging season for families experiencing homelessness. Donating warm clothing, blankets, or non-perishable food to local shelters through CAPTAIN CHS helps ensure that families and children are safe, cared for, and supported during the holidays.
5. Share holiday cheer in your community.
Sometimes, the simplest acts of kindness are the most meaningful. Invite someone who might be alone for the holidays into your home, offer a meal, or simply reach out to check in. A little care goes a long way in building connection and community.
As we celebrate this season of giving, consider how you can make a difference in the lives of those around you. Your generosity—through donations, volunteering, or acts of kindness—helps CAPTAIN CHS bring hope, joy, and support to families, children, and seniors throughout our community.
