Team Volunteer Events

We welcome businesses and community groups to sponsor or participate in meaningful volunteer events, such as hygiene kit or move-in kit assembly parties to prepare needed supplies for people living in CCC transitional and permanent housing. These events are great for team building and have a positive impact on those we serve.

Please contact give@ccconcern.org to discuss sponsoring a volunteer opportunity for your group.

Seasonal Campaign: Holiday Wish Program

Help make a child’s holiday wishes come true!

Each year, CCC’s Holiday Wish Program ensures that more than 400 children in our family housing experience the joy of the holiday season. When you sign up, you’ll receive a child’s wishlist and purchase gifts to make it a reality. Your generosity helps parents give their children a magical holiday and brings comfort, hope, and stability to families working toward brighter futures.

How to Sign Up

1. Email teiana.brown@ccconcern.org and let her know how many children you’d like to sponsor. She’ll send each child’s details, gift wishlist, and delivery information.

2. Shop for gifts! Plan to spend $50–$150 per child. Purchase online or in-store; gift cards are also welcome.

3. Mail or drop off your gifts. The address will be provided once you’re matched, and gifts should be new and unwrapped.

Thank you for helping make the holidays brighter for every child and family at CCC!
