STOCKTON, CA (August 24, 2023) – Children’s Home of Stockton (CHS) is excited to announce the kickoff of its annual Major Gifts Campaign “Guiding Youth Forward” to raise unrestricted funds for its critical youth programming.
The Major Gifts Campaign (MGC) Committee is comprised of board members and community members dedicated to promoting the mission of Children’s Home of Stockton. This year, Leticia Robles (Pacific Homecare Services) serves as Chair of the 14-member committee, which includes board members Jake Clizbe, Celeste McFadden, and Mary Pimentel as well as community members Sheri Cooley, Sumiko De La Vega, Victor French, Faye Giovenetti, Henry Peralta, Francesca Vera, Edith Villapudua, Doug Wilhoit, Jane Wu, and Erica Zuehlke.
As Robles expressed, “If not us, who? I believe we have a personal responsibility to pay it forward and support our youth. We can make a difference for one youth at a time.”
The MGC Committee is tasked with helping to raise $500,000 to support CHS and the youth who come through our doors. CHS operates the largest Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) for foster youth and Catalyst, the largest housing program for unsheltered Transition Age Youth (TAY) in San Joaquin County. These programs serve vulnerable youth who need a safety net or a second chance to get their lives back on track and build a successful future.
The Major Gifts Campaign kicks off this month and will run through January 2024. If you would like to schedule a tour of our campus or make a gift, please visit CHS’ website at chstockton.org or call (209)
