The programs of Chehalem Youth & Family Services are not fully funded by government reimbursement. As a result, we have found it necessary to turn to the community for the dollars, volunteer hours, equipment, furniture, supplies, vehicles and food required to support our quality programs.

We recognize that giving to worthwhile institutions and projects is a very personal choice. We also understand that there are many organizations that rely on the generosity of others to maintain their viability. We ask you to consider our message of Hope and Healing and enhancing the value of a child when considering a donation to CYFS.
