CAPTAIN CHS hosts a variety of events and programs throughout the year. Annual fundraising events serve a vital role in raising essential funds for our programs and services, such as our Runaway and Homeless Youth Shelter, Homework Help at Cheryl's Lodge, family assistance programs, and our emergency food and hygiene pantry.
Events and benefits hosted by others on our behalf are other ways you can help make a difference. We are so grateful for the support of our community!

Topic: Impermanence & Purpose
We reflect on the ephemeral nature of life and the enduring aspects that persist even amid impermanence. In the face of life's fleeting moments, we can find solace and strength. As the tide of life washes over us, we are left with cherished seashells – the memories and legacies of those who have touched our lives in profound ways. These remnants, polished by the sands of time, serve as gentle reminders of the interconnectedness of all beings and the significance of each individual's purpose in this grand tapestry of life.
Time: 12:00pm
