Donate Your Car, Boat or R.V. Before you sell your vehicle, consider donating it to CCFA. Our vehicle donation program helps to raise needed funds for research and community-based education programs. It is a lot easier than selling it and you will also receive a tax deduction. Call us at 1-800-241-0758 for more information.
Workplace Giving Choosing CCFA as the recipient of your workplace giving campaign is one very important way you can help to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. CCFA is a member of Community Health Charities, California Chapter. Employees in corporations, federal agencies, and state/municipal governments nationwide give to CCFA through Community Health Charities. CHC has more than 50 years of experience in workplace giving. Touch the lives of people you know and help someone you don't know. If you would like information on how to bring Community Health Charities to your workplace, please call us at 1-800-241-0758.
"Buddy" Connection for Support
Looking to find support and comfort by talking to someone who knows the challenges of living with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis? Want to provide a helping hand to those in need of help - including family members of patients? Then join our "Buddy" Connection program! We'll match you up, based on your needs or your request to help others – answering questions, visiting someone in the hospital, or just being there to listen.
To sign up, please download the application. You can also contact Tamara Block at 1-800-241-0758 or tblock@ccfa.org.
