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!
