Helping Hands


Helping Hands
Helping our Members,  Helping our Community

When new families join CCPOM, they are welcomed into a club with over 110 members who are eager to offer support and advice.  But on occasion, members need more than support and advice.  Helping Hands helps members and their family when someone becomes seriously ill or injured. 
When members suffer a major illness or injury, Helping Hands often arranges for meals to be made and delivered by members to the family in need.  Not worrying about a hot meal can be a big relief.  On other occasions, members have had difficulties covering medical expenses for a member of their family.  Helping Hands has stepped in and coordinated fundraisers to assist the family.
CCPOM also believes in helping our neighbors and our community.  Every year during the holidays, CCPOM helps raise money and collect toys for families in needs.  This year, members donated toys and almost $400 in cash to help the Bay Area Crisis Nursery.   The Bay Area Crisis Nursery helps prevent child abuse and neglect by providing support to families in crisis. 
Helping Hands also recently helped a family in our community with funds to cover travel expenses to receive necessary medical treatment.  The father is in the military and their insurance covers medical expenses.  Unfortunately, their son has a rare illness and his treatment required travel that was not covered by their insurance.  CCPOM made a donation to the family to help the boy get the care he needs.
Helping Hands is successful because of our thoughtful and generous members.  With your continued support, we are here to support those around us.
