Children’s Programs

CCA is committed to the many children served by our programs. After-school programs are available on selected days at our Hillside Family Shelter and Stepping Stone sites. These programs focus on nurturing the children and helping them develop the skills they will need to succeed in school and in their interactions with other children and adults. The program also includes mentoring and tutoring.  CCA also offers a Children’s Summer Program that brings together children from all the housing program sites for a five-week "camp" focused on the development of socialization skills. Activities include arts, crafts, games and field trips.

Thanksgiving Distribution

Annually, CCA sponsors a Thanksgiving distribution to more than 1,000 families and seniors in the Hill neighborhood of New Haven, This effort could not be possible without the assistance of hundred of volunteers from greater New Haven. Working individually or as a group, through their congregations and schools, these volunteers make this event possible by sponsoring food drives, donating money, sorting food and distributing baskets.

 

If you would like to be a part of this year’s Thanksgiving Distribution effort, contact Lillian Marquez, Director of Emergency Family Services, (203) 777-7173, lmarquez@ccahelping.org. If you would like to organize a food drive or volunteer contact Albert May, (203)777.7848 or amay@ccahelping.org.
