Centennial Cares

Centennial Cares. Sharing is Caring. Your help makes a difference.

Give local. Share joy. Make a difference! Centennial Cares is the City’s annual holiday campaign connecting residents, businesses and community partners with opportunities to support nonprofits serving our community.

From putting food on a neighbor’s table to helping a child settle in with cozy new bedding, there’s a cause for every caring heart and more than one way to help.
