Today, we remember and celebrate the life of Christopher Paul Pickering on what would have been his birthday. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit, kindness, and legacy continue to inspire and live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
We are honored to continue his legacy of giving to others through the CHCS Christopher Paul Pickering Pay It Forward Fund.

The fund provides resources to address challenges for individuals being served by CHCS. The funds are used to address an immediate and urgent need. The funds are viewed as the first step in a process of promoting our capacity to help others. The act of kindness initiated by all who have contributed to this fund sparks the opportunity for recipients to “Pay It Forward.”
