Ways to Give

Your generosity helps people across Monterey County access care, recovery, shelter, housing support, and hope.

Every gift makes a difference. Whether you give once, give monthly, include CHS in your future plans, donate goods, or support a specific program, your support helps neighbors move toward safety, stability, and independence.

Make a One-Time Gift

A one-time gift provides immediate support for CHS programs serving individuals, youth, and families across Monterey County.

Become a Monthly Donor

Monthly giving is one of the most effective ways to support CHS. Recurring gifts provide steady, reliable support that helps sustain programs throughout the year.

Leave a Legacy

A legacy gift allows you to extend your support for CHS beyond your lifetime. By including CHS in your will, trust, beneficiary designation, retirement plan, life insurance policy, or other estate plans, you can help ensure future generations in Monterey County have access to support when they need it.
Legacy gifts are personal and meaningful decisions. CHS is happy to talk with you about how your gift can support our mission, and we encourage you to consult your legal, tax, or financial advisor to determine the option that is best for you.

Give Through Assets

Some donors choose to support CHS through assets or charitable giving accounts. CHS may accept gifts such as stock, donor-advised fund distributions, qualified charitable distributions, and estate or trust distributions. Please contact us before initiating these gifts so we can provide current instructions and confirm the best process.

Corporate and Workplace Giving

Businesses and employers can support CHS through sponsorships, matching gifts, workplace giving, corporate contributions, and group volunteer projects. These partnerships help strengthen local services while giving employees and customers a meaningful way to support the community.

Donate Goods

CHS may accept in-kind donations that meet current program needs. Because needs vary by site, please contact us before collecting or delivering items. Examples may include:

• Hygiene items
• Job readiness clothing
• Program supplies
• Household items
• Seasonal items
