Ah, New Year’s Eve. Every year, this week brings with it a sense of excitement, anticipation, and hope as we look forward to the year ahead. Suddenly, everything that happened in 2025—the challenges we faced, the successes we celebrated—feels like a stepping stone toward the opportunities of 2026. The new year is untarnished and ready for the next chapter in our shared journey of supporting children, families, and seniors in our community.
With New Year’s Eve come New Year’s resolutions—those small promises we make to ourselves to improve our lives. This year, why not make a resolution that also helps others? At CAPTAIN Community Human Services, there are countless ways you can make a real difference in 2026:
Get your family on board.
Teaching children the value of kindness and service is one of the greatest gifts you can give. As you make plans for the year, consider ways your family can volunteer together, whether it’s helping at a local food pantry, participating in a youth program, or supporting seniors in your community.
Share on social media.
Social media is a powerful tool for spreading awareness. Help CAPTAIN CHS amplify our programs by sharing stories, events, and updates online. Every post helps connect more people to the services they need—or inspires them to give back.
Support children and youth.
Mentorship and guidance can transform a child’s life. Consider volunteering with our youth programs to provide encouragement, support, and opportunity to children in need. Your time can create a lasting impact.
Give hope through generosity.
Whether it’s donating food, gifts, or financial support, your contribution ensures families, seniors, and individuals have the resources they need to thrive. Even small acts of kindness—paying it forward in your daily life—can ripple through the community in meaningful ways.
Volunteer consistently.
CAPTAIN CHS relies on volunteers to keep programs running smoothly. Make a resolution to volunteer regularly—your commitment can make a tangible difference for the people who count on us most.
Commit to giving.
Regular donations help sustain our programs year-round. One-time gifts are wonderful, but monthly or consistent support allows us to plan ahead and serve more families, children, and seniors in need. Even a small monthly gift can have a huge impact.
As 2026 approaches, the opportunity to create positive change is before us. Make this the year your resolutions include giving back. By supporting CAPTAIN Community Human Services—through volunteering, mentoring, or donating—you can help strengthen our community and transform lives in the year ahead.
