Host a Donation Drive to help foster care youth living at CCYA!


Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and cared for. At CCYA, community donations make that possible.

From clothing, shoes, and undergarments to nutritious meals, personal care items, linens, cleaning supplies, and enriching outings, the everyday needs of the youth in our care are significant—and ongoing.

By hosting a Donation Drive, you can make a direct and meaningful difference in the lives of children and teens who need it most. Your generosity helps ensure that CCYA has the essential resources needed throughout the year to provide comfort, stability, and opportunities for growth.

Start a Donation Drive today and become part of the community that helps our youth thrive!

Please note: Due to limited storage space and the cost of cleaning, CCYA is unable to accept used clothing or shoes.
