Generations of people, like the Ross family, have reached out to help neighbors, and have allowed CSL to be a lifeline for local families. To ensure we end this year on a high note, and go into 2026 in a strong position, the Rosses are matching all year-end gifts up to $50,000! Collectively, that will yield $100,000 or more to care for local families.

or our CSL locations, the Christmas season begins in full swing the Monday after our Luminous Gala (Monday, November 5).

As we approach Thanksgiving, CSL would like to thank you, our loyal supporters and friends, for everything you've done to make this historic anniversary year a special one.

Most families that we are helping have been chronically homeless, and have very few personal possessions. We expect to house all these families before Christmas, but we need your gently-used household items.
