This project is geared toward stopping problems before they start through the use of videos. Segments include Door Key Children, Proper Installation of a Car Seat, Safety in the Home, and Anti Drug Abuse. Other topics highlight recreation, biking, fishing, boating, hiking, and rollerblade/skateboarding. This program is ongoing with new subjects periodically added. As the old saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

     Everyone is aware of the spiraling cost of a college education. when coupled with the meager availability of scholarships, grants and loans, many young people are missing the important opportunity.
     CAFH has set aside funds to be used for high school graduates who have outstanding marks, but need financial aid. Adhering to our policy of not giving handouts but lending a helping hand, we have established a student work program with our local County Administrator. The money they earn, less 10% for themselves, will go into the fund and remain there until the student needs it for schooling.

     Of all the committees, programs and projects, this is the most important. One would think that in the most prosperous nation on this planet, there should not be any reason for organizations such as ours to exist. We at CAFH are sad to say that this is not the case. In this land of plenty, young and old are doing without.
     CAFH increases its versatility by accepting anything we can use. Donations of any kind are accepted, and whatever you have to give that we can barter, sell or trade will be used in giving a helping hand. But this is simply not enough.
     We need money. Much more than we have with needs increasing every day. This is what makes fund raising so important. Without the funds, we are limited in our ability to provide services.
     CAFH makes this promise: What you give, we will not waste.

     The members who sit on this committee have backgrounds in education, law, medicine, counseling, administration and business. Besides being successful in their profession, they have a compassionate desire to help those who are less fortunate.

Counseling

     Children who have been through a family crisis, physical or emotional abuse need counseling. Other members of the family may also have need of such services. CAFH maintains a staff of professional counselors who are on 24-hour standby to provide such counseling.
