We're proud of the strong network of human service agencies/individuals who are represented within council and would love to see membership continue to grow. Membership forms can be completed online, by going to www.theccchs.org and clicking on the "membership" tab. Once your form is completed, an invoice will be emailed to the address listed as the "CCCHS Notification Email" on the form.

 

Save the Date! The annual Rose Cologne Volunteer Dinner is scheduled for Monday, April 27th at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center. The dinner is an opportunity to pay tribute to the volunteers who work to further the mission of CCCHS member agencies.
