CKCHC Charity Auction

This online auction will support two of our youth programs: PERSERVERE and FRESH for Youth.

PERSERVERE is an 8-week in school program that teaches resiliency to students. The program focuses on feelings, coping, social support networks, problem solving and ties in mindfulness, confidence, and self-talk. In the 2023/24 school year, we partnered with the Lambton Kent District School Board and Bkejwnanong Kinomaagewgamig and delivered the program to 25 classrooms in 12 schools and reached 551 students.

FRESH for Youth is an interactive learning series, led by a Registered Dietitian, in which participants learn basic cooking skills such as measuring, chopping, calculating portion sizes and using kitchen equipment. Since August 2023, we have provided 11 youth cooking classes and had 105 youth participate. In 2024, we partnered with Chatham-Kent Fire and Rescue and provided our cooking classes at five different fire stations across Chatham-Kent.

The Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres are non-profit, community governed, multi-service health centres that provide primary health care, health promotion and community development services all under one roof.
