HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

Sad, but true, The Clearwater Community Volunteers (CCV), after 27 years of making happy children and families, will not be building Winter Wonderland this year.  We are doing this for the health and welfare of all of our volunteers and attendees, and we fully intend to resume our amazing holiday village in 2021!!!

Winter Wonderland is a food and toy drive, and we always provide a LOT of toys to needy children.  This year we will be doing a massive toy drive, despite not having Winter Wonderland, so that we can still make sure as many children as possible have a wonderful Christmas.

Along these lines, CCV will be working with local businesses to set up toy drives, and we will also accept cash donations so that we can purchase gifts that are needed.

Working closely with the Sheriff’s Police Athletic League, we have a six-page list of gifts that have been requested!  We hope to get so many gifts that we can also expand our giving to other needy groups, such as The Pinellas County Foster Children’s Association.

As always, CCV wishes everyone a wonderful holiday season and we look forward to seeing you next year!

Best Regards,
Pam Ryan Anderson
Executive Director
Clearwater Community Volunteers

Sheriff Jim Coats is a Fan of CCV!

Dear Joanie,

I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate your work and the efforts of the Clearwater Community Volunteers over the past few years. There are so many areas of our community that are so much better off because of your efforts.

As a board member of the Boys and Girls Club of the Suncoast, I want to commend you for your ambitious initiative to support the Clearwater Jasmine Courts Boys and Girls Club. The fashion show fundraiser that your group held was nothing less than spectacular. It truly was professional and enjoyable, and I can assure you that the funds raised were very beneficial to the children in our community.

I appreciate all that your group is engaged in, and I assure you that your support has not gone unnoticed.

Sincerely,
James F. Coats, Sheriff (then Chief Deputy)
Pinellas County, Floria

Success Stories from Volunteers

What do our volunteers get out of helping with CCV projects? Find out below!

I have been involved with CCV for many years. What I love most (there are a lot of things to love about this group) is the fact that no matter how much or how little I contribute I always feel like I have done something to help improve conditions in my community and every action is so greatly appreciated by the executives of the group.

Trish O'Hara

I have been a volunteer with CCV since 1997. The rewards and joy I have experienced from helping people, especially creating a joyful environment for children, have been quite elating.

It is an extra special activity that allows me to help others improve their lives, change their interpersonal relationships for the better and gain better affinity for their environment.

Sincerely,
Joel Anderson

What Is CCV?

The Clearwater Community Volunteers was established in 1994 by parishioners of the Church of Scientology who wanted to become more involved in the local community by putting on events and raising funds to help children and families in need within our community. CCV has since expanded over the years to welcome volunteers from all over Tampa Bay, and from all faiths, who share our purpose.

CCV is all about helping others, and having fun doing it!

CCV puts on three main charity events each year: a huge Easter Egg Hunt in Coachman Park, the elegant Fashion With Flair and silent auction held in the sumptuous auditorium at the Fort Harrison Hotel, and Winter Wonderland. In addition to these annual events, CCV organizes volunteers to help out with other community events.
