A great short-term or one-time volunteer opportunity!  Pick up donations made to CCS from the donor's home or location!  This could range from large amounts of clothing, to pet food, to furniture, and more!  Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator for more information, or to register to be "on call" for needed donation pick-ups.

President's Volunteer Service Award

 

Jan Magee, a senior at McArthur High School in Irving, recently received the President’s Volunteer Service Award for performing 526 hours of community service during just her first 3 years of high school.  In addition to coming to CCS on Tuesdays whenever she isn’t in school, Jan has been on mission trips and service projects of her church, served at Boy Scout day camps in the summer, and is an interpreter for the deaf.

 

Congratulations, Jan, for sharing your gifts and graces with so many people in so many different places.  And especially thank you for your help at CCS.
