An Eye to the Future -

     CCAIM is committed to helping our community and our families of faith as responsive to the needs, all of the needs, physical as well as spiritual, of the wider area in which we live.  Many are doing what one cannot do.

How Can I Help? -

     Helping the mission of supporting members of the community at times and in ways few else can or will do is really very simple!  CCAIM is first of all sustained in the work of supporting and encouraging people with the help of YOUR dollars and time.  The majority of funding for the CCAIM is through individual and church donations.  Businesses, foundations, unions and others play a vital role too.  If every person (21 to 65) living in Cayuga County gave just $1 per year, the work of the chaplains, interfaith volunteer care givers, community dialog groups and facilitators, area food pantries and more would be adequately funded for all the needs currently being expressed throughout our community.

    Giving is easy too!  Tell your pastor that you would like to donate to CCAIM.  He or she will pass along any donation and you will receive a receipt from CCAIM (a 501c3 corporation) for your tax deductible gift.  Or, you can click the link below and send an Email to CCAIM telling that you would like to make a donation.  An invoice for you gift will be sent right out and you can send a check or money by return mail.  We'll even include the stamped envelope to help you speed your donation on its way!  You can also click the link to send a message that you would like to volunteer your time to the work of CCAIM.  Just explain your interest in the Email and you will be contacted immediately.

    And PLEASE, keep the work of CCAIM in your prayers and be sure tell others of the wonderful effort of encouragement, faith and mission going on everyday right here in the middle of our community - CCAIM, many doing what one cannot accomplish!
