Welcome!

Each year since 1993, the Clearwater Community Volunteers put on Winter Wonderland, which is a two to three-week long charity drive in downtown Clearwater whose proceeds benefit the children of Pinellas County. Winter Wonderland is a complete Christmas village with an entertainment stage, photos with Santa, cookie decorating with Mrs. Claus, a hot chocolate shop, a petting zoo, pony rides, playground, a Bouncy House, a Giant Slide and the Holiday Express Train!

Entrance to Winter Wonderland is free but we ask visitors to bring a non-perishable food item and/or an unwrapped toy. The toys and canned goods are donated to local area charities, such as the Homeless Emergency Project sponsored by Everybody’s Tabernacle.

Winter Wonderland is open from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Wednesdays through Sundays. For the starting and ending dates of this year’s Winter Wonderland, please check the event details in the sidebar of our website.

People from all over the world have visited Winter Wonderland, gazing in awe at the thousands of lights that adorn the real pine trees and enjoying the wonderful entertainment that is on the stage all the time that Winter Wonderland is open.

For details on this year’s Winter Wonderland, including a map to our location, please see the event details in the sidebar of this website.

If you would like more information, feel free to contact us at any time.

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.
