Challenge
To provide quality training for chaplains in the Central Valley we need to raise $200,000 each year. Our income is dependent upon internships with our partner hospitals, grants and individual donors.
Your partnership and tax-deductible donation will help ensure that qualified, certified men and women in pastoral care will be available in your family’s time of need. We are a federally approved not for profit 501 (c) (3).
