The holiday season can be a challenging time for families and individuals in need. It’s difficult enough for many families to make ends meet without the additional emotional financial stress of the holidays. 

You can join CCA by blessing individuals and families who are struggling this holiday season. This year CCA will provide over 1,200 meals to families each week during the holidays; present 125 seniors with gifts of their choice and provide toys, stockings and gift cards for 2,000 children.
