Since C.H.O.W. has no paid employess, 100% of all donations are used to purchase school supplies for the backpacks distributed at Christmas to Grahn, KY students, purchase food to stock the food pantry at the Grahn School Community Center, transportation to deliver donations to Grahn, and office supplies.
For fundraising, C.H.O.W. hosts a semi-annual Quiz Night at St. Robert Bellarmine Church Hall on Niles-Cortland Rd. in Cortland. Teams of 5-8 people compete against other teams answering trivia questions from various subjects. A light meal in addition to snacks and beverages is served at 6:30 P.M. with the game beginning at 7:00 P.M. Cost is $10 per person. The Quiz Night scheduled for March 21, 2020 has been canceled. a future Quiz Night will be scheduled for fall, 2020. For more information email questions to chowohio@gmail.com .

C.H.O.W. also accepts donations of non-perishable food, paper goods for the food pantry and like-new household supplies, books, furniture, baby equipment, toys and sports equipment, etc. that can be sold in the thrift shop at Grahn School Community Center. Donations of fabric, yarn and Christmas decorations can be sold in their craft shop. These donations are taken to Grahn each September and June. During the pandemic CHOW is not accepting donations of books. The community center has more than they can store right now. They are planning to build shelves in one of the rooms to open a bookstore.
C.H.O.W. hopes to continue its mission of sharing excess materials with people who can use them while at the same time keeping these materials from going to our landfills. We can only continue this work with cooperation from local businesses and individuals. If you have anything usable you feel can be used at the Grahn School Community Center and would like to donate please email chowohio@gmail.com . C.H.O.W. volunteers will contact you to make arrangements to pickup your tax deductible donations.
