Annual Turkey Drive
Every year, CPS members host an annual Turkey Drive in support of Upper Room Food Bank. CPS members donate their time to help collect donations (both turkeys and monetary) for local families ahead of the holiday season.
Big Brothers Big Sisters
The Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring program matches a child 6 to 17 years of age (Little Sister/Little Brother) with a caring adult (Big Sister/Big Brother) over the age of 18. Through regular outings, a relationship is developed between the mentor and the mentee, which is built on trust and common interests and is supported by experienced caseworkers. The result is a life-changing experience for both the mentor and the mentee.
