Clearwater Community Volunteers (CCV) is a non-profit, charitable organization, made up entirely of volunteers and is a community arm of the Church of Scientology in Clearwater.
CCV produces the huge Easter Egg Hunt in Coachman Park in Clearwater every Spring and “Winter Wonderland” – an annual holiday charity drive in downtown Clearwater featuring 5 village buildings, 100 live pine trees, a fully functioning stage with entertainment, tens of thousands of tiny white lights, pony & train rides, a playground, a giant slide and bouncy house, and Santa and Mrs. Claus.
CCV gets their inspiration from the quote by L Ron Hubbard, “Love and Help Children.” CCV has raised over $136,000 over the past 19 years for charities such as Nourish to Flourish, Shriners Hospitals for Children – Tampa, Boys and Girls Club of the Suncoast, the Make-A-Wish Foundation and The Children’s Home, Inc., the oldest orphanage in Tampa.
