ATTEND SERVICE IN OCTOBER TO SIGN UP!

09/02/2026

30+ people in the room and every single one of them left knowing more about keeping a baby safe. 🙌🏾

CJ took the stage at Victor Valley College to bring car seat safety education to this year's Doula Certification Training. Because doulas need to know this. Families need to know this. And CHAN shows up wherever the community is learning.

This is what partnership looks like in the High Desert. 💛

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”.

You heard that using benefits could hurt your immigration case, so you stopped. A lot of families did.

Here is the thing. Public Charge is confusing on purpose, and much of what gets passed around is not true. Fear keeps families from help they actually qualify for.

You do not have to guess. Come sit with Carolina at High Desert Second Chance in Hesperia. She will walk through your situation, calmly and privately, and help you understand what actually applies to you.

Every Wednesday, 9 to 11am

Feeding your family shouldn't take a nutrition degree or a bigger paycheck.

But most of us are out here guessing. Squinting at labels we don't fully understand, grabbing what's on sale and hoping it's the right call, pouring drinks that quietly work against us all day.

This September we're clearing that up. Four Wednesday mornings in Victorville, sitting down together and going through the stuff that actually helps. How to eat the MyPlate way. How to read a label in plain English. How to eat well without blowing the budget. And what's really in your cup.

Free. All four weeks.

10 to 11am at the Child Care Resource Center
15456 W Sage St, Victorville, CA 92392

Make it to at least 3 of the 4 and you walk out with a $50 grocery gift card. Help now, and a little something toward your next grocery run.

Spots are limited and they go fast. Grab yours before they're gone.

You ever sit with something so heavy you don't know who to call, what to do, or who to even trust? 💙

A lot of our neighbors are living right there. Quiet. Carrying it. Scared to ask.

CJ said it best, nobody should have to figure this out alone.

That's exactly why CHAN built the Immigration, Health & Resilience Program. Free. Confidential. In English and Spanish. One-on-one with someone who's actually in your corner.

Know Your Rights. Family Emergency Planning. Health access. Public Charge explained. Real answers from real people who care.

If this video reached you for a reason trust that. 🤍

Being a father isn't about being perfect.

It's about showing up.

It's the rides to school, the late-night talks, the lessons learned together, the encouragement after a difficult day, and the commitment to keep trying even when life gets hard.

Today, CHAN celebrates the fathers who choose to be present, involved, and engaged in the lives of their children.

Your time, your guidance, and your love matter more than you know.

Thank you for helping build stronger families and stronger communities throughout the High Desert.

Today we celebrate the women who hold families together through strength, sacrifice, patience, and love.

The moms figuring it out day by day.
The grandmothers helping raise another generation.
The caregivers showing up even when they’re tired.

We see you, and we appreciate you more than words can say.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at CHAN.

💐💛
