Description

Chase and Area Family Services (CAFS) is a community-based charity dedicated to creating opportunities for all children, youth, and families. Guided by the vision of a thriving and connected community, CAFS grounds its work in values of community, integrity, well-being, and resilience. Our programs and services are designed to remain responsive, sustainable, and impactful. We are committed to Enhancing Access to Resources by developing and sharing a Community Resource Directory and maintaining a well-stocked Family Resource Centre. We focus on Strengthening Our Foundation, recognizing that strong governance, clear roles, and sustainable operations are essential for long-term impact. This includes assessing space, staffing, and programming needs as we grow. Finally, we prioritize Fostering Meaningful Relationships, building partnerships with Indigenous organizations, local groups, and community members to ensure services reflect genuine needs and lived experiences. These priorities rest on the belief that lasting impact comes from collaboration, transparency, and adaptability. By weaving together supports with opportunities for growth, CAFS not only responds to immediate needs but also invests in the resilience and well-being of the entire community. Whether through access to resources, strong systems, or meaningful partnerships, CAFS is a cornerstone of connection, trust, and opportunity in Chase.
