November has been a month of generosity and connection at CPA! We’re incredibly thankful to all the donors who purchased gifts for our Adopt A Family gift drive, ensuring the children and families we serve have a joyous holiday season. Volunteers will be sorting these thoughtful gifts this weekend, spreading even more cheer.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to the businesses of Roscoe Village, Kendra Scott, and Altar’d State for their incredible support—collecting toys, hosting events, and donating proceeds to benefit CPA families.

Our Time to Thrive campaign is gaining momentum, helping us build vital resources for the year ahead. We’re also looking forward to showcasing Hope Fore the Holidays this Sunday, December 8th, a special event to celebrate the season together. Tickets are still available (see below)!

Finally, we honored Adoption Awareness Month, sharing stories highlighting adoption’s transformative power. We also hosted a Health and Wellness event with our amazing partners from Vitality Group, who inspired our students to embrace healthy habits and self-care. December promises to be as impactful and rewarding as we continue this incredible journey. Thank you for being part of our mission to help children and families thrive! 

Take a look and see what we’ve been up to.
