Each year, Community Human Services helps over 3000 people in Monterey County address substance abuse and mental health issues. Our programs are designed to serve low and moderate income families who are uninsured or otherwise unable to afford care.

At CHS, we know that healing and stability don’t happen in isolation—they happen through connection. Our volunteers are part of that connection. They help create welcoming spaces, build trust, and remind the people we serve that they are not alone.

During Volunteer Recognition Week, we’re celebrating the individuals who give their time to support mental health, substance use, and homeless services across Monterey County.

Your presence matters more than you know. Thank you for being part of this work.
