Spending Christmas in a shelter is not the most comfortable scenario, especially for a child. Each Christmas, our staff and the community that supports CCH comes together to make the holiday special for the mothers and children we serve.

Our annual Christmas party is held at First Christian Church of Huntington Beach, and this year we had about 100 women and over 200 children attend. Each child received a gift from Santa Claus that night. The toys were all purchased and wrapped by individuals in the community who wanted to make a difference in the life of a child during this holiday season.

CCH had many dedicate volunteers assisting with set-up, crafts, and toy distribution. We also received an outpouring of food donations from several local restaurants. BJ’s Restaurant in Huntington Beach not only donated a large portion of the meal, but sent an entire team of volunteers to help serve it. Thank you to everyone who made this celebration so special for our moms and kids!
