Help Our Clients Find Joy This Holiday Season

butterfly-divider

Our staff takes great strides to make the holiday season special for our clients, many of whom struggle this time of year. It’s difficult to work through the trauma that follows child abuse while surrounded by a carefree world of cheer and merriment. Each December, CPC brings joy to our clients by passing out goodies that encourage bonding, normalcy, self care, and fun while bringing laughter and comfort during a difficult time, and that is a truly wonderful thing.

This is made possible through the generosity of our community.

If you’d like to get involved, we encourage you to start gathering some of the goodies listed below. Businesses are also welcome to participate by collecting items in their stores.

Items can be dropped off or mailed to:
