Support our Marshall Fire Survivors

---

As our community recovers, we continue to need volunteer support in a variety of ways:

Volunteer with the Chrysalis Initiative:

• Responding to direct survivor requests
• Supporting CTS Chrysalis Initiative programs and events
• Contact us at ctschrysalisteam@gmail.com. ​

Ongoing needs in our congregation's faith life:

• Volunteer in worship: be a greeter, serve communion or read prayers
• Contact Marissa to be a Caring Adult at youth events

Chrysalis Programs

Chrysalis Companion Program

Survivors most impacted can choose to be paired with a CTS companion to walk alongside you, and facilitate support and access to resources through the CTS Community. If you are a survivor and would like to be matched with a companion, or are willing to be a companion for another community member, please contact Marissa Seuc-Hester.
