Ways you can get involved with CCC!

 

Southwest region 

• Volunteer to mentor refugee students and help them reach their educational and vocational goals. 

• Collect items for newly arrived refugee families. We are in immediate need of sheets, comforters, towels, toiletries, pots/pans, plates and utensils. All items should be new.

 

Richmond region 

• Volunteer to call lonely and isolated seniors or to give a much-needed break to a full-time caregiver of a loved one. It's a very rewarding volunteer position!

• Collect items for newly arrived refugee families. We are in immediate need of couches, tables, and dining tables/chairs. All items can be gently used.

 

Tidewater region 

• CCC is opening a center to provide temporary care to children, ages 5-17 as they await reunification with family. Help us provide a welcome backpack containing a notebook, pencils, toothpaste/toothbrush, soap, and socks to each child.

• We are collecting school supplies for the new children who have arrived through our Refugee Resettlement Program. Please visit our Amazon Wish List to help provide them what they need for a successful school year!

All regions 

If your parish is interested in learning about assisting a refugee family, community sponsorship is a perfect opportunity! Sponsorship can be tailored to the capacity and strengths of your parish and could look like taking a family on a weekly grocery trip, ESL tutoring, helping to furnish a home, or just helping newcomers navigate their communities.
