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

A Great Cause - Great On-Stage Surprises!

CCYA relies on community donations to provide for the everyday needs of youth in our care. From clothing, shoes, and undergarments, to food, outings, personal care items, linens, and cleaning supplies - the needs are many.

Donation Drives provide ongoing resources year-round to CCYA.

Choose your drive today and get started!

Note: Due to limited storage and cost of cleaning, CCYA does not accept used clothing or shoes.

To schedule a donation, please contact
